Untitled 1


Did you ever love me, like I loved your hands?

On my throat as you choked me with your lips, on hers.

Did you ever want me, like I wanted your attention?

Out of the corner of your eye, when she spoke.

Did you ever need me, like I needed you around?

Or did you not care, like the poet who wrote these line?

Ignoring that the similies, like metaphors of you, were not for her.

Insane in the Gislaine

I act, I write, I try to sing and dance, and I think solely with my right brain. I have foreign parents so the need to be the best in every possible way is strong, but it's fun because I have different reasons why my hair looks and behaves the way it does. Sleep is for the weak. *week.
