Do you know how to talk to angels like she does?
Would you believe if they told you why?
They're telling me things I'm scared to hope for
Do I hope even through the pain?
You tell me
Please
Because I've always believed in you more then I should

You or me

Your writing is on repeat
Change out your pen
Dive from a bridge
Scream in a place it echos
Something to rediscover your originality
Don't lose the uniqueness that demands people's attention
You're melting it away for cheap looks
I used to read your words over and over
Memorized by heart
I save you for last now, hold my breath through each new piece
Hoping to feel it again
The surge of anticipation empties out my chest as the words drift around me
Not through me with barbs that dig in to get stuck like when I first knew you

I remember when 3 lines hurt with feeling so much my chest physically ached for days after from the responding pounding in my chest

That's the girl that can make this happen
Find me that girl

Past to present you're still my constant

I catch you sometimes
You have this look on your face when you go back
Remembering things you still perceive as your fault

Broken ribs, bloody noeses, stitches over the one eye that was blind for a week
A scar on the upper lip that matches the one from the car door at seven years old
Kicks and punches designed for submitting
Hiding from drunken rages, the smell of weed lingering
That chase that led us through a window and the most fucked up game of tug of war

There are glimpses of it in me
The parts that made me stronger
The parts abandoned long ago
The parts that still affect me
The parts where I am just like him

I lie about the reasons I don't do certain things
But you know the truth

I don't blame you
I've never spent too much time on blaming anyone for anything
Things happen in life
Some of it stems from outside sources
But it's always my choice what I do with it

I really wish I could take that glistening from your eyes
It's the only thing that still hurts me

I'm not sure how this goes

Forever two kids in love
Seeing the world from unjaded eyes
Knowing the world will never, can never, change what you have
Forever two kids in love
You'll always want what they have
