I can see you creeping back inside me
                                          
                                         You have to stay away
                                                                                    I know I'm not strong enough
To fight you off again
                                                              You've made me fragile

I used to be a beautiful frame
                                                        
                                                           But you clawed through my glass

                                I am no longer a pretty picture

I am shards of what used to capture

                                                                             A beautiful scene

When I was growing up
My mother taught me
That America was a free country
And I could be as free as possible

Then you add in laws
And moralities
And eyes that stare you down
For expressing your opinion

This is not a free country
This is not a free world

If it was
Maybe I wouldn't feel so trapped
Inside my own skin

A year ago
I was a cracked frame
Trying to walk over
The shards of glass
I'd so perfectly laid out for me

A month ago
I was leaving a hospital
For what I hoped was the last time
I threw away
All the pills and razor blades
I brought in light
And life

A week ago
I was content
There was still
A stinging numbness
In the back of my mind
But I worked through it
Everything turned out fine

Today
We had a lot of snow
But my school did not cancel
I nearly broke down in tears
I made my mother leave her office
To come pick me up
She cried
And screamed
And begged me to stop
She told me I was driving her insane

Things never change
Never expand
Never decrease
Never get better

My flowers died today
The weeds in my heart
Starting to tangle and choke me
There's no more hope inside this broke down body

There is no sunshine left inside
To bring my flowers
Back to life
I'm afraid everything that once danced
Has now died

June 2nd, 2012
You told me things weren't working out
And I cried for nearly
Two ******* years

Last night I let you go
You were the last flower
When I said goodbye
I turned to dust
MD Feb 2014
That's it
That was the end

It was so difficult to say goodbye
To what I feel
Is the love of my life

You wanted me to go
And I want to make you happy
So I left

The flowers that began to bloom inside me
Suddenly turned to dust
They crumbled the moment
I said farewell

My flowers died
Im a little bit shocked
Can you die of a broken heart?

It has been exactly 605 days since we broke up

You asked me out on May 29th, 2012.
It is just now
That I realized what a short amount of time
Our relationship lasted

Most would say I'm obsessed
Because you can't really love someone
After you've dated for only a week

But we had be best friends for a year
And I loved you from the beginning

From June 2nd, 2012
to the present day
I have watched myself die
A thousand times

But I keep reviving myself
For you
Maybe someday you'll want me
Like you used to

It's cold outside
I think my thoughts have frozen over
Lately I've been in and out of reality
Sometimes I can't tell the difference

This winter has been so harsh
I'm losing people
I'm losing myself
(Am I even here right now?)

My once warm blood
Has suddenly turned to ice
It's too cold for me
To function
And I wish you were here
Like in the winter of 2011
When you slept on my floor with me
And we ate popcorn
While my brother hit on you

My head is spinning
I don't remember today
I don't remember anything
Besides that look on your face
When you told me you loved me

You were always so good at lying
