Sort of familiar
It's sort of familiar
You next to me
I can't tell if it's me being familiar to you
How you feel beside me
Or familiar to
Being pressed against someone on a couch
(this has happened to me a lot)

Again
Again, we piled onto the couches
Facing each other
The librarians told us to keep it down.
Again, we talked and laughed
Learned all the new drama
Caught up to each other's summer lives

The mirror
I looked in the mirror
And today
Instead of focusing on my flaws
On picking out everything I hate about my face
Instead of being my own worst enemy and self-critic
I looked
Really looked
At this girl

The thing that saved me
At the beginning of the year,
I lost myself
So completely
To the crushing waves of despair,
Hopelessness,
Sadness,
I am always angry
But usually I can put my anger away

The girl of fire
This girl
Takes every conversation
By storm
Walks in
Not like she owns it
But like she knows what she wants
And there is no way around it
She will have it

Flip through my books
Scroll through PDFs
And I just don't want to

Just not in the mood
And suddenly I am terrified
Terrified

Rotting with the Milk Can
I rot in here now
Along with the old milk can
In the garbage bin.
Your love too
Has expired just like
The milk can.
Now I rot
With the milk can and
Your spoilt love.

Wanted
I wonder if I can't get over you
Because I can't get over being wanted
There was something special about being wanted
Knowing you'd talk for hours about me
And go out of your way to see

a hopeful revival
Unexpected
but a blessing.
Or at least what I hope will be one.
A surprise
something I normally don't like
but this time
it's different.
It's different because it's you.
Because you reached out

We will learn
Teenage love is different from adult love,
we love hard,
raw.
We love with the hopes that we will find the one,
innocent to the ways that the 'one' will change over and over again,

You Two
Looking at you two
as you "dance" on the "dance floor"
which is really just an empty spot on the ground
as you hold hands awkwardly
though enjoying it
as you experience feelings that I've never experienced before.

Separation
It's always the goodbyes that are hardest
especially when you've gotten so close
after years of distance
it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them
