Touch me
Touch me
Touch me
Touch me
The number of weeks I've wanted you
The times I've thought it
Endless
Fingers gripping a lonely mattress
I curse into a brand new pillow
Not the one I'm used to
Fuck
If you can't take me home
Take me wherever we are when you see me next
Because I miss you
And this is not the same

You're one of my best friends
I think
It's so hard to tell
Because you don't always act like it
And I feel so many conflicting emotions
One of them being a deep love for you
A need to be supportive
Even at a disadvantage to my own health
And I don't think you would
But maybe
You would use me for that and leave me damaged
Not realizing
Just not even thinking about it
Because you're just that kind of person
And maybe that's why you always think you're the good guy
Not because you don't...

Stepped On
I was older than you
But I should have been the bigger person
When we were younger
I remember your glasses would get stepped on
The same way she used step on us
And like your glasses
I began to crack under the weight of our heavy home
I'm sorry I helped to make life such a disorienting blur for you
When I should have been doing so much more
But just like your glasses, I was weak
They only spent enough time on me to make my foundations out of cheap plastic
Easy to break and manipulate
And I'm able to recognize now ...

Slipped up
You said you didn't expect me to be perfect
But once I slipped up and got sad for even a moment
You got mad at me for distracting you from your happy new life
One I wish you would invite me into
You said all you wanted was for me to try..
Can't you see how much effort I'm putting in?
I'm trying so hard...
I'm scared to open up to you
If I shake you, you will break
Maybe I should remain silent

How he Took my virginity
An unsent letter to my best friend about how I was raped by a boy I loved at the time.
"For me it's pretty intense. It's like I go into a trance and I can't think, something just comes over me. And he knew this before we ever had sex. He was really aware of it and I'd get ahead of myself sometimes and he Knew I didn't want to have sex yet so usually he'd stop it by asking me a question like "whats my birthday" or something to snap me out of it. I thought that that was so great about him.
But then one day he didn't snap me out of it. I couldn't think. I actually can't even...

Stupid
How could I be so stupid
To think that you would ever want me
How foolish
I didn't even realize
That while I fell more and more in love with you
You were falling out of love with me
Why didn't I see it?
I guess I felt too secure for once
I knew you were too good to be true

Your High was My Low
It's hard to imagine what Meth feels like
But, I imagine it feels like you're flying with your feet weighed down
And that's kind of how I felt with you
Because the high started to feel less like ecstasy and more like ice running through my veins
Choking my lungs and making me gag when I should have been saying
No
No
No
I lived only for the brief hints of pleasure within your chaos
You left me so broken that you were the only person I could go to to get that high again
I was scared of the come down
not realizing my feet never...

Polygamy with myself
I know I was always faithful
but I cheated on you
I lied to you constantly
to love myself too
I broke up with a part of myself
to stay monogymous with you
Because I fell in love with the woman I was becoming
And you said
you couldn't love both of us
So I took her hand, helped her up
and left you in the dust
