“You say our love is like dynamite,
open your eyes,
it’s like
fire.and.ice...”
[‘Cause I leapt straight from the frying pan
and into the fucking bonfire…]
I’m a wreck [so pretty baby]
Break out the shakes
When I see a g-g-ghost!
[with an eyebrow bar.]
Guess I never really grew out of
.T H A T.
So here I sit, the gawky teen,
The one with the
Red hair
[I used to love it.]
Pale skin
[Please please don’t make me blush.]
Freckles
[Sun kisses.]
&Hot body…
[All I ever told myself I wanted.]
Re-reading broken love lines
with bleary eyes
on the train
to a place I don’t want to be…
But inside, I’m the forever fat kid,
[Foureyes.]
The girl all the boys laughed at,
[At least I never needed braces…]
who didn’t play sports,
or wear pretty clothes
& who always kinda thought the other girls were prettier anyway…
[Flash forward -->]
I guess you didn’t know just
how much that message would hurt
[burn:twist:slice: break ]
me.
But guess what sweetie?
It did.
[[Why couldn’t you have just hit me instead??]]
But uh oh beautiful, here comes the delicious
i r o n y :
I still cry with nostalgia when I read
just.how.much.I.fucking.loved
[love]
loved you.
So
I guess I’m just a little broken
[messed up . fucked up . beat up && bruised]
but please,
feel free to tell me how beautiful
this [false] skin is.
[I don’t believe you anyway.]
Avoid the cracks in my sanity
And the [fear.pain.hate.hurt] in my baby blues.
I learnt this lesson already, sweets;
Now it’s your turn.

Awesome
I REALLY liked it! being a lyricist I read it once as a regular poem, then as a song; I loved it twice as much!
Kudos 4 U! -

And don't worry beautiful; smile for your boy.

Ok this poem made me cry. It's how I'm feeling at the moment. I like this guy and it seems every other guy is beautiful compared to me, and he says he likes me but its hard to believe
.
Just randomly clicking through poems and this is amazing. i loved every minute of it.
