The way he looks at her.
And the way she looks at him.
Magic.

Nothing
Is as pretty
As it used to be
When I was in love with you
And you were in love with me
The trees look a duller green
The flowers look
A sadder grey
And I do not feel myself
Now that you’ve gone away

There was a boy
One who made me smile
One that I could see my future in
One that I loved to the
End of the earth and back
But that wasn’t enough for him
I wasn’t enough for him
And now he’s gone
Because he didn’t understand my feelings
And why I felt them
He didn’t understand my thoughts
Or why I thought them
He didn’t understand
The real me
Maybe if he’d seen
He would feel differently
But I highly doubt that

Once
I was kissed
By a boy
Who said he loved me
He lied.

The ever so gentle caress of a lovers lips
The hitch of my breath as your fingers trail
Down
Down
Down
The pressure of wanting present
In your fingertips
Feeling the love
The euphoria
When I’m with you
And knowing you’re with me too

I had choices
Yet I still chose you
But you left me with a broken heart
Feeling blue
My tears spilling on the floor
Stuck
In the bittersweet memories
Of what we used to be
The things you would say
To appease my hunger for love
You satisfied my thirst
With words you never meant
And never planned on meaning
You say you want me
In the ways I want you
You say you want a big house
And a lovely wedding
9 kids too
All the things we planned out
And yet you still
Say you’re busy
And you’re sorry
Without saying what you mean
What you mean
Is that you’re sorry
I feel this way
About words that were made to upset me
I know I’m fragile
So you should
Have to accommodate
Instead of trampling over them
Like my words mean nothing
And my heart is made for stomping on
And my eyes were made for crying
Rivers of tears
All because
One day you made me feel blue
And it just escalated to the point
That I could never imagine myself
With anyone other than you
So in the dark of night
When I’m remembering what used to be
And crying over you and me
And all the memories we share
That were just left in the open air
Because you broke my heart
And walked away
As if I meant nothing from the start

All the laughs
And the jokes
And the smiles
Are all a blanket
Hiding my hurting
And my feelings
And my tears
Easily covered up
Not letting anyone see
That they really don’t know
The real me
Because I hide
And I cry
And I let no one see
All the hurt in my head
And the heaviness in my heart
And the sinking feeling I get
When I realize
No one needs me
