NOT a Love Story


I sit in the back of the class,

He sits in the front.

I keep my head down,

He laughs and jokes with all his friends.

My hair is messy and my outfit is baggy,

He plays sports; gets good grades; and has so many friends.

I am a loner,

He is popular.

Everyone knows his name,

but yet he knows mine.


This is NOT a love story

No, not even close.


Because, you see, I know him and he knows me.

We know every part of each-other,

every flaw, every dream, every feeling.

We act like we’re strangers;

we know that we’re not.

I know I’m not good enough for him, and as much as he wishes he didn’t,

he knows it too.

tired


im so tired,

never the desired.

wasting away,

constantly in pain.


never feeling wanted,

always being haunted.

living with no purpose,

happy on the surface.


my family's martian,

emotions begin to darken.

forever a burden,

an empty person.


im so tired,

tired of the lies.

i promise mom, i tried,

but it's time to say goodbye.

Clothing


I wonder what she thinks when she wears your clothes

The same ones that I once wore

The same clothing, yet different hangers.

Does she know she's the replacement

For the one that broke?

addicted


drawn to you,

like a child craves sweets.

trying to come to,

but i must retreat.


longing for that touch,

sired by your voice.

frozen in that clutch,

must make a choice.


obsessed with your eyes,

staring through my soul.

putting on a disguise,

filling the empty hole.


meaning nothing to me,

yet thirsting for your hold.

there's nothing to see,

only your addictive role.


- sincerely, anonymous


 

toxic


you're breaking me again,

please, just don't pretend.

you know what you've done,

trying to make me numb.


you're telling these lies,

while im screaming out cries.

you say you care,

but that's not fair.


i see right through you,

you know what you're doing, too.

forcing everyone against me,

acting like we were meant to be.


but girl im no airhead,

im bigger than you instead.

im stronger than you'll ever seem,

yet haunted by my own dreams.


you're toxic, and i know it now,

your mom must be so proud.

her golden daughter falling apart,

all because of her own cold heart.


- sincerely, anonymous


 

my vision of you


there's no one i've wanted to,

love as deeply as you.

but it's tearing me apart,

and crumbling my heart.


your exquisite eyes,

deeper than the sky.

longing for your gentle touch,

my vision of you, carried by my clutch.


i miss the charming version,

now im downing bitter bourbon.

i miss the way you held me,

but im only left in misery.


my draining solitude,

unable to push through.

all i want is my vision of you,

the fraud who loved me too.


- sincerely, anonymous

 

you left


how am i to blame,

when you're the one who left?

i feel myself becoming insane,

but you're he fraudulent theft,


i sit here waiting,

knowing you won't return.

i'm only creating,

my inevitable downturn.


you left so easily,

like i was nothing.

i'm feeling uneasy,

wasting away, overthinking


- sincerely, anonymous
