Absolutly

Is there something I can say
That hasn't already been said?
I wish the words bounced off my lips
But the letters float in my head
And jumble and get lost inside me
And then they jump to the tip of my tongue and kiss my lips
When I see your face

Don't be mad at me
I love you
Or I will in a shot or two
When the vodka drowns  memories of him out of my mind
You'll be the first one who
I turn to

Everything I Now Am

I am now a bundle a bundle of empty goodbyes and unused condoms I am remnants of lovers who didn't kiss me goodbye I am now the songs I didn't sing for the ones who pleaded me I am now the tears that hide under my pillows till the alarm clock screams I am the the calls I never returned and the flights I took to all the cities to save a love from drowning in alcohol I am the cheesecakes I baked to win back the love I lost to insecurity through the stomachs of his friends I am the lies I lied to the last page of my notebooks all because my heart couldn't decide which part of my body needed more blood. I am them all, I am all my mistakes, I am a bundle a bundle waiting to be undone and re-distributed to those who should've loved me better.
