A two-person poem between me and a guy I like. Every first line is me, every second line is him.
(2013)
This is not about the first time we met, but about our first real conversation, in the science lab. This is what I thought he was thinking...
You can’t see the pain behind my s… I know something’s wrong, talk to… I can’t tell you I love you. It’s obvious, the way you act arou… You think I don’t notice you.
What did you think I was doing al… You never knew, although you sat r… It was all for you, but you wouldn… You never saw me cry, or at least… You could have helped me, you were…
Save me, I’ll be waiting for you to show up at my door,
My first crush moved away, the summer before third grade, but I didn’t cry then. My parents beat me up,
It’s way too quiet without you her… The words of everyone, they don’t… They don’t seem to notice you’re n… I’m caught, their looks like a tra… You don’t care that I miss you, d…
Fallen idols, another one bites the dust, watch them fall, like a statue
Making it hurt, making it bleed, until I feel nothing at all. I just want
You told me I was scared of the fire, I chose to walk through it,
Looking at that picture in my yearbook, the one of us, from January, in the science lab,
Come on, baby I’ll wait on you, try to run, try to hide, there’s a killer
Dancing in the night, Eating up what people throw in. It’s impossible for me To act like I’m invisible. I can destroy,
His eyes are as blue as a sapphire… But they only sparkle for me. His smile is the sunshine, Sparkling off the waves. His hair is as black
So many things you don’t know, like the way this Tightrope Ride burned me out too many times. The way I almost took the Highway To Hell,
Watching you... self-destruct, it hurt me as much as it’s hurting you, I took down
You said I’m funny like that, but I know it’s not true, You’re only saying that so I’ll laugh,
