2 years of your smell
all over my room,
I never gave up
I just let go too soon
And I swore up and down
that I’d leave the light on,
but I guess I lied again
because the darkness
is abound


So give me a job to do,
give me a plan
I’ll shave my head and
call myself Laura,
Kelly or Sam,
I’ll throw out our memories
one by one and pretend
the past has already begun
‘cause I can’t stand the present
situation
even though I know
that I made the right choice
Please don’t ask if you can
call me on the phone
I can’t handle listening
to the sound
of your voice

Because I’m gone
and you still hope I won’t
but I am and we are
gone and on Thursday the
garbage truck will come
and pick us both up

I originally posted this in the teen forum, but I didn't like it so I changed it around a bit and posted it here. I hope that's okay. If not, well, it happens.

the faeries creep into my hair at night leaving it in terrible knots

I am so sorry! But sometimes you have to remove what doesn't belong.
