Doomed from the Start
Our first date is this Friday, but I already see myself apologizing for wasting your life as I sign the divorce papers. I'm being selfish, you see, because all I see when I'm with you is who you're not, and not who you are. I want a permanent distraction from the one person I've never been able to stop thinking about; you're perfect, because you're nothing like her. I'm sorry it'll end this way, I didn't mean to hurt you. But I also never meant to get to know you. You're the kind of person who would get married and settle down just to be accommodating, and I'm the kind of person who would propose out of boredom, who would have spend time with

the importance of proper cutlery
I took a knife to my wrist tonight,
"not fast enough."
I moved it up to my throat,
"not sharp enough."
I looked around and found the only thing sharper I had was serrated and strangely small
"I'm not about to saw my head off with a cheese knife."
I found nothing to cut me from my emotions,
So now my emotions cut through me
As I spend another night wishing I was dead.

I write because I suffer and I want to know why
I write because I suffer and I want to know why.
I write because there's no words when I need to speak.
I write because I'm empty when I need to feel.
I write to take the cork off my bottled up tears
I write to loosen the noose around my constricted throat.
I write to be and be free from the thoughts within my mind.
I write to see the things that I feel but I don't know.
I write to hear the silence as my words overflow and paint the page with the picture of everything I feel with what is said and what is left between the lines to show what I can lay bare and what I hide even from myself because so often it's too much for me to handle, every
I want to hear you
Breathing heavy in my ear
While the heat between us melts our skin together
And our tangled bodies truly become one.
I want to taste the happiness on your lips
And see the passion in your eyes
And I know it's nothing new to us but
With you, I can never have enough.
With you, I become insatiable.

what I wish I had asked you
It's probably too early in the morning to be asking you this, but... Would you miss me if I just disappeared? Not just for like a couple days or a week, but like after a couple months? Or in 5 years when you're at a bar and some guy says you're sexier than a Ferrari, would it remind you of me? It's okay if the answer is no, I don't think I'd remember me either. In a lot of ways I'm already dead. I feel like my life has been still for years and every conversation I have is just me saying the same things over and over again to different ppl. Like I'm just there, like a good song that's been so overplayed that no one wants to hear it. That's wha
Placing your arms around me is the only way I can get a hug
Bringing your lips to mine is the only way I get a kiss
Placing you in my bed is the only way I don't sleep alone
Thinking the words in another voice is the only time I'm told I'm wanted
Saying it in the mirror is the only time I'm told I'm loved, and it's been years since I've been told that.
For too long you've been all that's kept me going, and now I realize it's all a lie,
You're just a mannequin.
