Seeing your face at my door
Is the sweetest of surprises

the unspoken pain streams down her face in the most beautiful way

screen obsession
has taken possession
our lives are not our own
we spend all our time
looking down
at laptop or smart phone
why do we need
the data feed
at every living moment
perhaps we could learn
to ditch the phone
and just think of what the day meant?

You said you loved me, as lovers do,
But why do I feel like I'm in a zoo?
On display, for all to see, of a love gone wrong,
And feeling like I'm bound up, in a thong.
Why don't talk to me anymore?
I guess I'll go drink, a Pinot Noír.

(hook) I wanna be with you, I would stay true, taking a chance is past due. Beautiful who? Beautiful you! Your eyes are beautiful blue.

I don't wanna slip between your thighs, I wanna take the time to make ties, and not goodbyes. If I don't take a try, I will make sighs, and ask "why?" You give more of a high then I could ever buy. So I should walk up and say "hi" and show you I can be a nice guy.

(hook) I wanna be with you, I would stay true, taking a chance is past due. Beautiful who? Beautiful you! Your eyes are beautiful blue.

I hope for a first date, I won't be late, where my mind will be at a cloud 9 state, it will be no debate, where no one will show you hate, and if anyone does I will rearrange there face.  

(hook) I wanna be  with you, I would stay true, taking a chance is past due. Beautiful who? Beautiful you! Your eyes are beautiful blue.

This is no race, take this moment at a easy pace, me going after you is better then any chase. I hope you won't ever leave without a trace.

I compare my body to art to make myself feel better.
These aren’t stretch marks, they’re lightning.
These aren’t acne scars, they’re a Jackson ******* painting.

Theres something crawling underneath my skin.
I pick at it with
Nails bitten down into nubs.

Some days the girl
Who stares back at me in the mirror
Yells profanities and insults
And my last wall of defense comes crumbling down.

—————————————————————————————-

I’m a *****.
Cold, aloof, alone.
I keep my teeth bared.
I keep myself locked in a barbed wire cage.

Self abuse is a tricky topic for most.
We all want to love ourselves,
To open our arms at the end of the day and
Cradle our inner children.
But the second
You open your mouth and
Let cartoon hearts fly out of your throat
You’re branded as “Narcissist”.
So instead,
We scold ourselves.
Whack rulers on our knuckles
Until the blood comes bubbling up.
We pinch and tuck and tease
And swallow bullet sized pills
And spew our lunches in the toilet bowl at school.
And we cling to this hatred
Like a baby clings to its mother.

I compare my body to art to make myself feel better.
All Mona Lisa smiles and pearl earrings.
An interrupted girl.
I compare my body to art because
I’m already a critic.
