...
I wish when I opened up my heart, my secrets, I could pour them into an opaque, air-tight container and keep them all for myself. I wish when I opened up my heart I could file my feelings and place them in a box. Tape, stamp, address, I'd mail them off to a faraway place (but I'd always make sure I could find them again). I wish when I opened up my heart the beating turned on default mute and the blush on my cheeks stopped below my skin. I wish when I opened up my heart I could stop the loud music.
But instead, when I open up my heart, my secrets flow from it; liquid, silver, tantalizing. My feelings shout and make themsleves known. They find their way into my eyes, my lips, the way my nose crinkles, but there's nothing I can do my feelings are not shy. When I open up my heart music flows from the core the beat in the background steady and quick.
When I open up my heart things happen faster than I can keep track of and every second's another memory. My heart does not hide from anything no matter what chains hold me back my heart will always be free.

(Can anyone tell me if this feeling ever goes away?)
(It's okay)
to be humble
(and also)
to stumble
(to swoon as you read)
and cry as you need
That one
you lost
so long long ago
(And yet it seems like yesterday when he said)
I would love to skydive
(and)
He spilled his juice
(and)
Smile and tears and
(He stared at you a bit longer than usual when you got your braces off, you know it was not just your imagination)
And it was yesterday and the beginning when
(he smiled in that way that communicated something along the lines of i know i am gorgeous and i think you are worthy of my gorgeous and ridiculously arrogant smile)
And
The candles were
(blown out)
And
(you didn't even know he was standing there)
always
(watching)
(I remember what you wore on September 19th.)
(you know, the day on my calendar with a sad face in the corner*bitterly*)
(khaki pants)
(orange and red striped shirt)
(Blue polyester hoodie)

Attic Doll
Fast forward the song at the link below to about 1:00 and then read on.:)

This room has been empty for
Quite a long time
Dusty glass corners and
Musicbox chime
Broken old golden things
Glitter and shine
Drenched in the air lies
A memory of mine.

If Looks Could Kill
Acting like we're one big happy family only works when it's true
But glares across the room
Glances and smirks
Eye rolls
Will you show me how it really is?
But glares across the room
Glances and smirks
Eye rolls

Undertow
The year passed slow
We watched a flower
Grow then die and wither.
Fence; slowly opens wide but
they walk right past because they know better now.
But that little girl-
she doesn't. And they don't warn her because,
well, nobody warned them.
In another, cleaner, meaner town
Headphones get popped in and
lawns get mowed and
shoes get wiped and
somewhere, a bomb goes off
in someone's mind and they think
Enough.
And that is the beginning of
The End
