Series 1

Black Out

She found solace in the bottom of a bottle of pills
when she saw the pictures of them together,
when she realized he'd moved on
and she was still all alone.


Fun Fair

I watched you spinning round and round,
your legs streaming free
but your hair was so tangled.
And from the safety of the ground
I watched as the gears sucked you in,
let you go.
I watched as you were spun like a top.
The colors were so bright.


Melt

The ice caps melted.
I had a scuba mask and a snorkel,
and my belongings in a Ziploc bag
but there was nothing left
of what we had been.
I guess we shouldn't keep memories on paper.


Horror Movie

I won't be the first to die.


Machinery

"I'd give my soul to have you back."
I didn't sign a contract,
there's nothing to hold me to.


Some Call It Stalking, I Call It Love

When I see you through your bedroom window,
you look so sad at night.
I pretend that I'm all you need
but I realize I must be crazy,
and this tree is really not able to hold my weight
much longer.


Rice

You never considered me broken.
Well, I heard that rice expands
and makes pidgeons explode.
So I mixed them some rice & glitter
and held hands with a stranger in the park.


Reverse

I broke my mirror
trying to climb through
and find a world
where the truck got run over
by the Volkswagon,
and the driver ended up 6 feet under,
instead of her.


Maybe

Maybe next year
will be my year.
Maybe it was last year.
Maybe it will never be.


New Year’s Resolutions

I'm not making New Year's resolutions
because they never make it past February
and I'm still not going to lose that weight
or find a boy who actually cares.


Wish Upon a Star

I saw a shooting star last night
but the news said it was the space station exploding.
I won't be making any more wishes.


Suicide Lost

I wanted to drown
but the warm water turned into your voice,
and I remembered how it was the soundtrack to my entire life
and sang instead.


Zombie Boyfriend

I rent movies from Blockbuster,
I go to the mall,
I still don't know how to cook.
I'm normal.
They all get so upset
when they learn I'm dating a zombie.


Bowling

Every pin I knock down
is a boy who'll break my heart.
I always get strikes.


Not Ugly

When we die we come back as something different.
Maybe with greener eyes.
Maybe as a brand new star.


Angel

I don't know if you're real
but I follow you all the time
and one of these days,
I will reach out and feel your wings under my hands.
Maybe then I'll know for sure.


Merry Christmas

This Christmas I was going to send you my heart.
My friends talked me out of it.
Why would I want to send you something broken?


Ocean

I should have been brave enough to ask your name.
Instead I drew your picture in the sand
and left you standing there on the edge of the ocean.
I left you there alone.


Inequalities

I said "Let's hold hands"
You said "Eternity"


Fear

What if the sky falls down tonight?
Everything we worked for was in vain.
The oceans dried up, the flowers wilted
and every single person on the planet
disappeared.
What if you really found someone new?


Listen

Sometimes I wish you had just listened,
but other times I realize
that all the things I needed you to hear,
I never said out loud.

Survey Says

The only reason I do MySpace surveys,
is because I secretly hope you'll read them
and realize that almost every answer
is about
YOU.


Sunglasses

Lately my eyes look so sad.
That's the real reason I wear such big sunglasses.
I never told you,
because you caused it.


Fragile

He's afraid to touch you
because he's afraid you'll break.
That's how thin you've gotten,
and none of us know how to stop you.


Words

I don't say "I love you" unless I mean it.
You pass out "I miss you" too easily.


How Does It Feel?

Sometimes I write stories
where we're the main characters.
You're the hero
and I'm the one that slips through your fingers,
every time.


Lonely

I slept with him because I wanted to.
But now I realize I only wanted to make you jealous.
You still haven't begged for me to come back.
