We could be friends
With memories
That we try to suppress

We could smile at each other
Passing by in the halls
And forget to take route
Where we surely meet

We could wave to each other
From across the room at prom
Whilst entwined in the arms of
Someone else

We could congratulate each other
On graduation day
Before rushing off to celebrate
With families and friends

We could say goodbye before college
One last gathering
Before we go our
Separate ways

We could meet again
Fifteen years from now
And reminisce on the good old days

We could be friends
And wonder
If we could have been

All I wanted was a fairytale
A handsome prince
And a white horse
I looked for magic
In people and places
Who knew nothing of the sort
I dreamed about roses
And dancing in the moonlight
Forever hoping that one day
I would be swept off my feet

Maybe fairytales exist
You proved that magic exists
But you also showed me
The thorns in the rose
I've been waiting in this tower long enough

Even the stars
Seem dimmer tonight
Blowing cold air into
My bones
Weighing me down
With the weight
Of a million galaxies

Even the stars can't save me tonight

I don't want to go home
Where your presence lingers
In my sheets
I can't keep pretending you are there
I can't keep pretending you want to be
Sleep is the only escape
But you stole that from me too

I think the sight
Of you hiding in the shadows
Watching me lose my breath
Lose my mind
Will haunt me forever

I wonder what you were thinking

Maybe I'll drive home recklessly
And leave myself behind
You told me not to
But I don't know
If it matters
After all
I guess I'm just another girl
You flirt with
Nothing but
A number

Your life today
Won't be the way you live forever.
Just give yourself the chance
To see your life get better.
