_erase me_

I knew a girl
Do you remember her?
She is cliché; the girl in the mirror looking solemnly back at me
Reminding me that I know nothing of laughter or love
Making me jealous just like you
Is that true?

>
/ maybe I’ll be able to make you hate me
Or maybe… you will do what is forbidden…}
__________~love~__________

How long will this last?
I erase my words…. One after another…
I question everything I say,
Scrape my skin raw…
How dare I even think these things,
Wish for you to love me?
This is the Truth
And it will never last, so shut me up now
Before I hurt myself again…

++listen++ to what goes on behind the scenes
While I try to make it *seem* surreal
For if you (don’t) believe it is real…
Then maybe it won’t hurt so much ….. when you walk away
For walk they always have

I liked the air of solemnity here, the only I don't like is all the ++ and those things..i don't understand what they are for, they seem like a fad to me...don't words alone sufice anymore. Still it's haunting presence here is explicit.

well, originally they surved a purpose, but some of the symbols didn't show up and I'm missing a line which, for irony's sake, I decided not to replace...

Ouch*feels her heart flame* this burned me to smithereens and left me for the wind to gather me away, I was swept under the carpet and in a bigger world by your words ~nightly

I always like to know I've made an impression of sorts :)
