Get Out Right Now.

stop. take him away.
im tired of you. 
dont you understand?
get out of my life.
i want to forget you.
im better off without you.
is this going to be easy?
something inside me definatley says no.
its not that easy.
your my dad.
i love you forever.
i just dontk now how i can.
i dont think its real.
its a dream.
matter of fact.
i hate you.
and i want to make you leave.
and i think ill do anything i can.
to make that happen.

I Love Him.

please. i have to go tonight.
tonight could be MY night.
this could the first new real move.
it was soo close. but of course. it got ruined once again.
i need this to happen. 
i want it SO bad.
i cant even explain it.
its like burning my heart.
and its turning black and curling.
and im watching it burn,
and suddenley its turned to ashes.
it hurts so bad.
i love him so much.
i just wish somebody understood.
that his kisses were different.
that the way he smiled was different.
that everything we ever did was different.
but now its all the same.

Jess.

shes my everything.
my important.
the one i can trust.
the one i can do anything with.
i want to know about her.
ive asked.
she just wont tell.
i wish she would rely on me more.
as much as i rely on her.
it make this feel more even.
there only a few people i mean i love you too.
and when i hear best friend the name that comes in mind is her.
shes my condom, my protection from my dad.
shes always there by my side.
some people ask if were always together.
the answer is pretty much yes.
my house, her house, somebody elses house.
ill do anything to be with her.
lie to my parents. one, once again.
just to see her.
to just get a hug.
im always grabbing for her hand.
i wish shed never let go.
im positive i wont fall.
if shes there gripping me tight.
and who wouldve known that last year when i got a wave in the hall.
that this year wed be this close.
but i know now.
i know how much i love her.
i know how much i trust her.
i know how much i cant live with out her.
i know how much she knows about me.
but most of all i truly know.
how much i fcking need her.
and how happy.
we really are.

Music.

its an adventure.
to have my fingers just dancing on the piano.
tears streaming down my cheecks.
onto the sheet music.
sobs.
echoing from me.
just turn into the beautiful music.
i forget it all.
as my feet flutter from pedal to pedal.
a, b, g sharp, and now c.
stop now.
dont cry.
im not miserable.
im not suffering.
im perfectly fine.
now practice that again.
just one last time.
have that sound eco through the empty house.
just one last time.

True?

she says she understands.
that she knows. shes been there.
i want something to happen.
but everytime we get close.
everytime he wraps his arms around me.
and finnaly leans in.
it just messes up.
and i back away.
even if i could stay there forever.
that it was the safest place i could EVER be.
and that it was the most important thing.
and that i cant take not having him anymore.
