i wore my new dress
the black one
with little flowers scattered about it
corals and pinks and yellows
and when i turned from side to side
the edges tickled my knees
i don't know how long i'd been dancing
or what drink i was on
but you were there
you poured us all drinks
and let me drink straight from the bottle
and suddenly
it's hands on hips
and mouth nuzzling my neck
whispering words in a foreign tongue
i never knew something so familiar
could feel so alien
i shoved the drink back into your arms
you moved on
i tried to forget your breath in my ear
several hours and drinks later
we're packed in a cab
i'm crammed between a friend and th
To Save Your Life
Heroes are hard to come by
Especially in this day and age
Because of you- I am still alive
Hail, the vanquisher of pain
-
I fought as long as I could have
But I sank into the weakness below
And I felt my sorrow's wrath
The helplessness took over
My fists let go
Of the resistance
I fell from hope
The light faded in the distance
It was all a dream
A wish...
A simple false belief
I hid...
-
Hands dangled frantically / Tears dripped endlessly
I needed a hero to save me / I yearned to be set free
-
A hand reached out
Held tight...
I was finally found
Relieved sigh...
I rose back to grace
And the darkness brightened

Messed Up, Mixed Up Memories
I remember the day of my friends funeral
It gets mixed up with the day when we'd jumped in the pool
It's a jumble of smiles and a jumble of laughs
All mixed up with a dark whole cut out of the grass
I remember the tears and the look of his mum
Like I can still hear the choir that sung
I remember the dares and the splashes of light
And simply lying afloat as the day turned to night
I remember the feeling of seeing the box
With a knot in my throat like I needed to cough
I remember he'd said to "live while we're young"
And that day we did things others would see as dumb
But the good's all mixed up with the other bad day
And b
I feel so lost. All that I ask is for a way out. I want so badly to start over nothing would mean more to me in the world other than getting that second chance
It's so quiet. So peaceful.
And yet in my mind its loud cluttered and a hazardous area for sane people passing through.
So much debris, so much blood, so much pain. Confusion hopelessness, wishing and pleading for a way out of this living hell.
Just take me away!
Isolate me and erase my memory.
I want it so badly that I can taste it
The need. The want.
The constant reminder is too much
To difficult
To thick of a chain to break.
I'm losing everything to nothi
HOW TO SUCCEED AT BEING A NORMAL TEENAGER:
(In 15 easy steps!)
1. The first step in becoming a normal, bland, and spineless individual is very simple. Never think. About anything. Ever. If you have a thought, let it go. Let someone else think for you. Thinking is hard. Let someone else do it. Save your little conformist brain cells for something less difficult.
2. Now let's talk about music. You like unique music? Not anymore! You get to listen to the same generic, repetitive sound that everyone else does. You know, that one beat over and over with the words "Yeah", "baby" and "ooh" being repeated. Lucky you!
3. To be normal, you've gotta
NOW
Now is when she glares at the man and doesn't flinch when he glares back.
He doesn't scare her.
Now is when she sits with the same group at lunch.
But none of them really know her.
Now is when she's learned how to fake her emotions.
No one can tell the difference.
Now is when she's gotten used to mom choosing him over her.
Not that she'll ever point that out.
Now is when she doesn't care what others think about her.
Because nobody knows the damn truth anyway.
Now is when she fights back.
She didn't used to at all.
Now is when she sits alone and listens to the messages her father has left her.
She tries not to listen to the p
Last summer we watched the moon swallow the sun and you told me violence was romantic. It was 12 in the afternoon but the sky was midnight blue, and as you spoke your hand clenched into claws around my waist. I reached down to hold your wrist but you dropped your hand to your side before I could touch you.
.
I used to think it was impossible to love someone and never really know them, but you took all those illusions when you took my hand. Sometimes we sat opposite each other in starbucks and you faded away, just staring into the sky, your soul stolen to some distant place. Even when you were next to me I could feel the space between us lik
The difference between you and me
Is in the one who they can not see
Invisible to the rest of them
Only you can completely condemn
The secrets that you hide
Meaning you no longer confide
Trapped within my own little freak show
Implying that no one is willing to let go
Incomplete.
I reach for you,
But you are not here.
I extend my hand to you,
But you cannot take it.
I want to hold you when
You can't stop the tears,
But I can't be there.
I would wrap my arms
Around you,
But you remain invisible.
I know your heart is here,
And I hear you in our dreams,
When you tell me that you
Still care,
When you tell me not to
Forget that you exist.
How could I?
You're always near.
Without you in my day,
I find myself more alone
Than I had ever imagined.
Not in my wildest nightmares
Had I expected to miss someone,
The way that I miss you.
I was never so crushed,
And I thought I'd felt it
All.
When I see
