A Year In Waiting

Keep telling yourself
that I'm the one to blame
when in reality
you were the one who
caused all this heartache.

Make me, break me,
Love me, hate me.
Make up your mind
cause meanwhile I'm sitting here
waiting for you to come
and take me back.
Damsel in distress
I'm convinced that it's
supposed to be the other way around
but what can you do when a girl
is in love with a boy like you?
Especially when this girl is me
And that boy is sitting over there
Tracing his veins with the razor
You gave to him last month.

Still everything that falls from your mouth
Is like poetry for my heart.
& I'm finding myself in puddles
on my bedroom floor
when the curl of your lips
produce "I love you".
And I'm liking the way the letters
are quickly appearing
across the screen
just as much as I like picturing
the words fall from your mouth
straight into my notebook.
