Paper Thin


I hang on to every word,

your voice echoes inside my head,

but you don't give me a second thought

you call me a good friend

but why do your words burn me so?

I want to tell you how I feel,

but you're with her.

The girl I want to be,

the lucky girl who holds your heart,

that special girl who's perfect in your eyes.

Why can't that be me?

Why can't you see?

The girl who wants to be seen so badly,

I wish I could tell you.

If you would look in my eyes,

you would see the yearning

the pain of watching you with her,

kissing, holding hands, fighting,

I want you, but you don't want me.

So I force a smile,

I'm surprised,

you can't see through my paper thin emotions

but when my paper walls come crashing down,

Will you still see my paper thin smile

As it dances lightly upon my lips?



When ever it rains I write poetry. My best pieces are always depressing, but I write them anyway, It's the best way for me to release my feelings, you may just think I'm a whiny little kid, and that I need to get over myself. I've been through more than most people ever go through in there entire lives. But I never claimed to understand YOU did I? No, I didn't, so back off, honestly keep your nose in your own crap and get thee fuck out of mine. constructive criticism encouraged.
