Who Am I?

Raven

Short, kind, loving, strong

Daughter of Roxann and a man best left out of my life

Lover of music, writing, and the pursuit of happiness

Who feels there’s something better out there, strength is fading from life, and lost in the chaos

Who finds happiness in the simple beautiful moments of life

Who needs just a little guidance through the chaos

Who gives too much to people who deserve so little

Who fears death is making a practical joke, light and silence will be her end, and chaos is all there will ever be

Who would like to see the people of the world change

Who enjoys dogs, friends, family, anime, and gaming

Who likes to wear hoodies and Converse

Resident of this life

Smith

Temptation

She remember it

The feel of his skin against her own

His lips pressing passionately against her own mirrored passion

The way he held her close to keep her warm

She remembers it all too well

She misses it

She still sees him

Gives him a ride home or to work

Just a seemingly harmless thing

But it’s the only thing she can do to stay close

She talks to him

Like it’s no big deal to be next to him

But

Damn

Are his lips so inviting

He pulls her in for a hug

She smiles

Holding back everything

She wants to kiss him

She wants to be his again

But

It will never happen again

He kisses her

One last time

Bringing her one step closer to insanity

The temptation to much

She smiles

Glad to have his lips on more time

She drives off

Not looking back

Even though

Anyone who knows her know what just happened

Damn him

The thought is the only thing running through her mind

She whispers goodbye

Hoping to never see him again

But

As always

The next day she does

‘Trust me…’

Those are of the last words she said to me. Her name is Hailey, and I did trust her, but my mistake was just that. Trusting her. I’ll never trust her again, or anyone for that matter. It only gets me hurt. By her reputation, I should’ve known it’d never last. I’m not quite sure why I’m even thinking of her, but, as I sit here waiting for the bus, she’s what I’m think about. Maybe, it’s because I thought I loved her, but I don’t love her anymore, in fact I could care less about her existence, so why I’m thinking about her, I don’t know. Most people say I’m still in love with her, I never really got over her, and everything else most people say when someone  just stops caring,  I think I’ve heard it all, but I know I don’t care, and that’s what matters.

The bus pulls up, I get on, and start the long route to school. I’m in a seat by myself, so I sit looking out the window.

‘Trust me. I’m not the kind of girl to have sex, then just leave. If you think that… Starr, if you really think that… You’re no better than any of the men I’ve dated…’

I remember that night and the morning after quite well. We were at Hailey’s house. She threw a party for me, and the sex was supposed to be my birthday present, but everything was so I didn’t make a scene and so she could keep up her rep. I should’ve known what she wanted when she took me upstairs. I should’ve known when she wouldn’t cuddle with me, she always cuddled with me, what was about to happen. I should’ve known when she said we needed to talk what she was going to say, but I didn’t.

Happy Alone

I’m happy

I’m alone

But I’m happy

Truly happy

It’s strange

I get up and don’t dread doing so

I ‘ve stopped caring completely what other people think of me

I am who I am

I don’t want to change

It’s strange

But I like it

Everything seems so clear anymore

Though I’ve become unfocused

Oh well

I’m just happy being happy

Regret and Almost Regret

I watch you as you play your game

Winning most every round

You look at me at me

Without letting anyone know you care

I can see something in your eye

I take a drink

Trying to ignore it

Hoping the vodka washes it all away

I feel safe

Even though I’m not as close to you as I’d like to be

You always make me feel safe

I want to get closer to you

You know I do

But you shove me away with your eyes

So I go to the living room

I curse myself for letting you have control

I curse myself for staying when I should’ve gone with my cousin

I curse myself for loving you

You keep looking back at me

Not often

But enough to let me know you’re making an effort to

You act like you want me in your life

But you keep pushing me away

I wonder if you’re trying not to get more attached than you already are

I wonder if you’re falling for me

You’re looking for things not to be around

I know you are

You try to argue with me

I refuse to

I just sit inside myself

Hurting

You’ve hurt me so much

I don’t know what do

He sits down next to me

Listens

Then he pulls me into the bedroom

I feel your anger

I don’t care at the moment

I need the wrecklessness

You weren’t prepared for it the night before

So it’s your fault

And mine

I want you in my life

I need you in my life

But I need to know if you really care

Or if you don’t care at all

You said one time you didn’t want to hurt me

I said you couldn’t hurt me

But I lied

To protect you

To keep you in my life

I almost regret it

But only almost
