Mixed Emotions

So, of course there's this boy.

And of course it's complicated.

He tells me he wants me, but he's burned me before.
I really want to like him, but I'm afraid, again, he'll just leave me at the door.

He's so sweet, but underneath that thin layer is a line of deceit.

Friends say he's changed, now this I'd like to see. Guess I'll find out the next time he sees me.

I'm so afraid of getting hurt; to our old ways I secretly wish we could revert.

And then I see him. And all of those memories flood in an instant, and I don't have time to regain myself. He's coming my way, and I quickly set aside my raw emotions on a mental shelf.

"Hey." he says. "I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. For everything I did. And I really want to try again." and that's all. Just 20 small words, put together in a way that slowed down the earth around me, just for a moment. And....I don't know what to say.

Your Love Is My Tomb

You are my sweetest sin. You make my head spin. One day you say it's fate. And that we shouldn't wait. And then you say it's wrong. And the wait is gonna be long.

"STOP BOTHERING ME!"

I have never felt this before. The feel of warmth under my eyes. My tears drying up on my face because I am sick of wiping them away. The feeling of those three words. Slicing, my tender heart.

I hate you. I love you. I miss you. I want you. Make up your mind. Stop wasting my time. Just let me be. They say there's more fish in the sea. Just get away from me.

what's best for me?

They just think they know what's best for me. They don't. He thinks he knows me. He doesn't. He thinks he knows what's best for me. He doesn't. Why do they all think that they can control my life?.
