How about we just stop this fight?
You, me, and a bottle tonight.

The High School Records: Freshman Year

I am moving through the crowd
Trying to find myself
Feel like a guitar that’s never played
Will someone strum away?

And I ask myself
Who do I wanna be?
Do I wanna throw away the key?
And invent a whole new me and I tell myself
No one, no one
Don’t wanna be no one
But me

Something This Good Needs to Be Shared

I was at Twitter earlier tonight (as I always am), when, lo and behold, I caught a ‘live’ tweet from my favorite One Tree Hill star, Bethany Joy Lenz! She could tweet anything mundane and I’d be ready to retweet it or check it out like a loyal trooper but what she tweeted this time very much caught my attention. It’s the new Google Chrome ad! It’s really a romantic one so, of course, being the perennially sappy girl I am, I just have to share it.

When I Stop Missing You

When I stop missing you, I will no longer smile at memories of the days we sang pop punk songs about depression, beer, and cheating boys or the nights we talked on the phone about the other girls in school, their hair, and horrible taste in music. I will not laugh at that inside joke; I will have forgotten that inside joke. We called that guy what for weeks when he did what?

Voices Inside My Head

She said, “Show me the world that’s inside your head.
Show me the world that you see yourself.
You can use some help.”

I hear all these voices inside my head.

I want to mean that figuratively. I do, but when there is too much noise around me or when all that surrounds me is silence, I might have to mean that literally. And it scares me.

My First, My Last, Mine (Part 2)

(Part 1)

the man who last held me as i cried
with tears breaking like springtide
held me with ardent composure
made me feel like he was the cure
to all the despondency
and the unfortunate reality
in the cocoon of his strong arms
i was safe from all known firearms
and when he uttered my name
he set my staggering heart aflame
in the most overwhelming way
that i could not forget that day

My First, My Last, Mine (Part 1)

the boy whom i first really kissed
held me so gently by the wrist
as his lips hesitantly grazed mine
feelings i could not define
swim inside my head and heart
he kissed me like it was an art
then he stopped to look in my eyes
“You said you wanted no more lies.
Well, what’s true is this: I like you.”
mesmerized by his eyes so blue
i went in for another kiss
no doubt, no lies, just joy and bliss
