i'm trying out this new thing
where i just don'tcare at all
not about anyone, not about anything
i just let myself
go
i follow the paths they draw out for me
long lines filled with nothing heres
and not right nows
but i'll keep on trudging
telling myself every wasted day
every second that i hate
is one step cloeser
to having my own happy
when you get close to people they hurt you
if you want things, if you hope,
you almost always end up diappointed
i'm so tired
so freaking tired
of being the girl crying over the ashes
of everything she ever wanted
i don't love him
i don't i don't i don't
this isn't about him
it's about me, who i'm becoming
changing, darkening into
filling in the outlines
J wants me
so i'll succumb easily
i can't stop this
it would take everything i have
and then there'll be nothing left
to keep faking it with
so today i'll go
and be who he wants
and maybe later matt will text me
but probably not
definitely not
and he will not know
what i have done
because i think secretly it might kill him just a bit
to see what kind of monster he has created
because i needed a better defense
i swear it won't hurt
i swear i won't let it
to him it will be carnal, all raging hormones and ego
and I,
I will just slip away
feel his body heat searing my skin
and pretend the scars that it leaves
are simply invisible
marking another girl
5000 miles away
so please don't blame me
for what i'm about to do
in remaining fragile and pliant
i am only protecting myself
favorite mistake
