Tell me exactly why the **** my love isn't enough for you.
******, haven't I given you everything?
How can you say that you give me everything,
indicating that I give you any less.
I've given you my heart and soul and body.
What more is there to give?
I am enough.
*Enoughenoughenough.

Soon they'll be able to reach inside of my ribcage and rip out what little is left
L May 2015
How many nights will I lay here, phone on mute and weeping, while you sleep on? When will I press that unmute button and let you into my head?
L May 2015
I ask you to stay on the phone with me
so you can protect me from the demons that hide beneath the sheets and in my head
L Jan 2014
I always stop myself when the thoughts arise
because I could never let my father
find me that way.
Surely, he would die as well.
L Mar 2015
I feel as if I've taken flight --
But is such happiness short lived?

This one is still attatched and scissors are at the ready, but I can't find it in me to cut it free
L Mar 2015
I spent weeks coughing up blood, but now it races through my veins
L Jan 2016
Please don't put me through this
Please don't look at me like you know
L Jan 2016
As if I didn't feel your eyes following my every move
L Feb 2016
Why didn't I have the courage to ever say no?
L Oct 2014
Maybe you became
the girl
who wears black
because your mother
told you
that no color
looked "good"
against your
pale skin
and
bleeding heart.
Why does she feel the need to say those things?

It breaks and it bleeds and I watch
L Nov 2015
You tried to guilt me into staying yours.
How did that work out?
L Mar 2015
I should be so lucky to die a painless death
L Dec 2014
If we are made to survive,
then why is surviving so difficult?

Give me all you've got
L May 2015
I never meant to cause you so much pain. I miss you. Please look at me.
L May 2014
You move, I move.

You breathe, I breathe.

You live, I live.*

It may be on my sleeve now, but you hold my heart in your hands.

And you can't begin to understand
L May 2015
I wish you had the courage

I can't escape the past
And it makes me want to die
L Dec 2015
I have no voice if I don't speak my mind
L Feb 2014
"Why are you wearing shorts? It's cold out!"

Why?

I enjoy the way the chilled wind feels --
it makes me feel alive.
The way the goosebumps raise on my pale legs reminds me that I'm human...
Sometimes I just need a reminder.
nothing much. just an articulate answer to a pointless question.
L Apr 2015
Try to please too much and you'll lose who you really are
L Nov 2015
I haven't let this body crumble
And I fear that my next breath will be
Tinged with regret
L Nov 2015
Oh, you fool... you fool so blinded by your own mistakes. Does no one pity you now?
L Sep 2015
I want to scream and run and sleep and never wake up
L Apr 2015
I can still taste your breath mixed with mine
L Apr 2015
You can say that we're the same and that I don't understand and that it changes but we aren't, I do, and it doesn't
L Sep 2015
For once, be your own crutch.
L Jun 2015
I'm trying so hard to be everything you need
L Nov 2015
I'm waiting for you to shatter
Because the glue isn't holding so well
L Nov 2015
I've got a feeling I can't prove
L Apr 2015
I'm going to miss you
and that lipstick stain tattoo
L Nov 2015
I know I can be rude and crass and my words are biting
But please understand that this is not easy for me
I don't know what to think of it
L Oct 2015
I'm beginnging to forget and I don't mourn the loss of these memories
L Nov 2015
When I think about where I was a year ago tonight, I can taste regret on my tongue
L Oct 2015
I make my hatred known so that no one trusts you the way I did
Does this make sense
L Sep 2015
I jump for joy at the sight of your smile
Oh, how I love that smile
That ray of sunshine
That expression of glee
L Oct 2015
And for the first time in a long time, I can feel the sun on my skin.
It feels like happiness, it feels like no shame.
L Oct 2015
You held on too tightly, grasped at my final breath
But you didn't seem to notice, you never relented
L Feb 2016
I would **** for you
but you wouldn't lift a finger
for me
L Jun 2015
I wish I was enough I wish I was enough I wish I was enough I wish I was enough I wish I was enough I wish I was enough I wish I was enough I wish I was enough
then maybe things would be different

I want out of this town and this parish and this state and hell, even this ******* country. Maybe then I'll be far enough from you
I hate you I do god I do

Don't you dare say I didn't try.
You have no idea how hard I tried.
I tried
I tried
I tried
L Jun 2015
You sound like rain in the summertime
L Oct 2015
I've stopped making excuses for your actions
I shouldn't have made any in the first place
"Why? Because she's a ******* idiot, that's why."
L May 2015
I don't think you realize the kind of pain you caused. You ****** up, again and again and again. Now I'm just waiting for one of your "friends" to lose their head. Soon enough.
whoops
L Jan 2015
Just as I mistook
lust
for love,
you have mistaken being
alone
with loneliness.
