(Its all she’s ever known.)
She’s always been
Just... a cliché
[Romance novel.]
One of the books that are
[Full of]
The [fluttery stomach] type of
Beautiful.
And
The somewhat mysterious,
Kisses.
Used over and over again,
[Just another book on the shelf]
Literally.
She knows what she is.
She doesn’t know how
To make it better.
Its not out of the ordinary
For her to find herself taken
And picked apart page-by-page
By the people who don’t even understand
How it feels to be all about
Love
Heartbreak
And pain.
But I guess nobody ever really
Cares anymore.
She is stained.
[Dirty boy’s]
Glitter- covered fingerprints
Lining every nook and cranny of her pure essence
With disaster,
Creating a sparkling [sculpture].
Of bad dreams. [What will happen now?]
Too bad it’ll just make things worse...
Dreams of the love that she only
*Wishes upon a star for*
Have vanished from the “worthy” list.
In a world where her fingers are only
Inches away from the vanishing point,
Dreams don’t come true.
So why even bother to wish
Upon a
*Twinkle*Twinkle*Little*Star*
She plead until her voice started cracking,
“Please don’t let me disappear”
But,
Paper shall wear thin.
Eventually [break.]
She is only a novel after all.
No matter how tattered her fragments have become...
[Breathe in the essence of imperfection,
Just a little while.
I promise it’ll be better than the rest.
Pot.Ciggarettes.Vodka.(Blood.)]
You’ll only be like this a bit longer anyways.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
[You might miss it later darling.]
She reads herself from beginning to end,
Training her eyes to pick apart every
Page,
Every single sentence,
Until each letter was shaped
Perfectly.
In the end,
I guess we’re all just striving for
Perfection.
[The sad part is,
We’ll all die trying.]
Author notes
ContagiousXAccident
I was inspired by this song::
2. I will follow you into the dark-Death cab for cutie--
Don't ask, I was listening to it the entire time I was writing this. :\
I don't even know how it relates to this.
Hope you like it.
hope you like, I didn't use lots of punctuation besides [ ] those things.
