The water is gushing from my lashes and your hand brushes past my cheeks to remove the tears I so carelessly placed there.
You said with honest eyes:
“One day we will be perfect for each other”
And my heart got caught in my throat.
Your back disappears out the door and I’m crying to the TV.
I knew that forever never existed; but I thought we could play pretend.
~~
It’s been 10 months since my first heartbreak;
And it’s still fresh as the knife slides regretfully up my arm.
Crimson memories are spilling slowly from my wrist;
But I’ve seen them all before.
I was 16 and believed love was pure.
I was a teenage girl with hope for eyes and trust for lips.
Well you crushed my irises till they bled black,
And bit my mouth till it broke.
Now I’m barely 17 and barely breathing.
Each night my pillow is stained sorrow and mascara.
The sun seems a strange sepia shade as I shovel ice-cream faith down my throat.
All I ever wanted was a wish that shone true.
And now with every shooting star I turn away because they’re only falling faster then others.
And every broken wish bone will remain just like that.
~~
I am searching the fields for my diamond earring.
The one you gave to me and said:
“They’re almost as beautiful as you.”
I’m a mess of eyeliner and glitter tears.
Collapsing on the inviting grass; I admit defeat.
The sun is transitioning itself from day too night as the light fades away.
I’m picking at the blades and discover a four-leaf clover.
I usually give up when ‘luck’ finds me.
But this time, still grieving over the loss of your gift;
I whisper to the dusk,
“I wish that one day,
We will be
Perfect for
Each other.”

i've loved that song for sooo long i can't even remember. The lyrics i chose were:
"and you can't fight the tears that are coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies, you bleed just to know you're alive."
