The Family's Sister

How does it feel to know that a different girl cries every night because of you?
Do not deny me in front of anyone.

Always Carry This With You

and no matter how cute you look with your glasses fogged up from the tears
i will always look at you as you are right now to me

What I Meant

I think I now understand what they meant
when they said "Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?"

I don't store love in my heart, I like for the clutter to stay in the brain.

I Wanted to Tell You so Much

girl i'm just trying to breathe, you don't know me
if you knew who i was, you'd be dancing on your toes

maybe we are in this together
stand a little further from me, please
i need my air in my nose
and you need your water in your lungs

i can't save you right now
i can't save you from yourself

That's Too Many For Today

i attached a paper clip
from your heart to the rib cage
cause everything else
had stuck to the next page

And you should know that just before your head caved in, your eyes looked amazing

I Pray In My Sleep

Why do these excuses fit as if it were a puzzle?
My body wants to cringe in this dry heat
but I have too many soft spots

and you know my weakness
i am your prey

I'm only a dream away but you never close your eyes to think of me

Well Lately

My insides are no longer rotting like those of an apple spotted on the ground

i pick up butterflies and wipe the dust off their wings so they can't fly;
I then stick them to my shirt and pretend they are there because they like me.

Watch Me

It's been a few days now
and I'm becoming amazed how
You ignore me like this

But I am stronger, it's only something that you, yourself do lack.


"don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining"
