d.a.r.e.

i'm scared of
losing myself
because your
smile is like
acid in my
veins.

"ha!"

pacific

everything seems calm,
until the tide comes in,
and you get trapped beneath the waves.

"i swam. i can't swim. i drown."

looks and lies

i hate you.

i can't stand the lies behind your eyes,
and the fact that you can look at me like that.

like everything will be okay,
and that somewhere inside you care.

then, when i need you to look at me
and say i love you.

you look to each of your friends
and laugh in my face.

i will not love someone,
who is afraid to love me.

"i'm not your pathetic little doll."

moles

one day i'm scared
i'll dig too deep
and get buried underground

"that kid used to eat dirt when he was younger."

dunce

i planned never to fall in love,
but then you
and your stupid ice water eyes
****** it all up.

"your enthusiasm bothers me."
"good."

peach tea

your smile is honey,
your eyes are sugar,
and your kisses are milk.

you make the perfect cup of tea,
now come back to bed,
and lay a little longer,
tangled between the sheets with me.

"i like mine in rainbow mugs."

Fingerprints.

I found myself missing
someone who used to
like all the little things
about me, so I went on
a little scavenger hunt
picking up bobby pins
and crunched up leaves;
a couple old CDs and
a bunch of little words
left unsaid; a tiny music
box and a ton of old
pictures that are the only
pieces left as proof and
all the little things were
laid out and added up
only to disappear in an
instant because they do
not even resemble who I
am anymore —
who am i
who
am
i
