well you smashed it.
you jumped and growled
and it clattered into
little tiny bits.
I can see you now
in your room
stomping like a child
throwing a fit over
a lost toy.
you've got your fists
clamped tight
just like they were
around me.
and now I see you.
the real you.
and laugh.
you smashed the mix tape.
you smashed it all.
and I don't care.

Isn't it strange how you can be sitting right next to someone ( Read more... )

I sit here with you ( Read more... )

Here I am ( Read more... )

So you've fled and yet conquered ( Read more... )

Sweet sixteen? What the fuck ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think ( Read more... )

Ha ( Read more... )

It happened gradually.
Then all at once.

They were playing his favorite song.
And him, still in the front.
A place of honor.
Though I swear he was made of wax.

Without a single thought,
they inched down my face.
I feel the absence.

And I finally know the truth.
It really is gone.

I have a heart.
I promise, it's there.
I just don't know what to say.

And now we all wear black.
The funeral march drums.
And I don't know what to say
to you.

I'm sorry never seemed quite right,
though I am.

So I'm speechless.
Speechless about the thing
that frightens me most.
