[actually using song lyrics by others and some of my poem lines. some poems are not published yet. also, quoted lines are from songs. this is kinda bad 😂]

“This thing called love

can be so cold.”

Guess I might be freezing,

but you’re left untold.

“It’s like you’ve been replaced

by a tattoo of your name.”

I should’ve been smart,

and considered him vain.

“Know you don’t care,

but I can pretend that you do.”

I’m crying,

but they don’t have a clue.

“Forgot that you told me

you had to go.”

‘Cause I’ve been holding

on like you wouldn’t know.

But “if honesty could burn,

baby, I’d be on fire.”

I couldn’t let you go,

but I’m no longer a crier.

“Could you find a way

to let me down slowly?”

I’m a teenager, and feelings

are continously growing.

“Some stories are worth telling,

and then there’s ours.”

You’ve left me to listen,

left me to count the cars.

“That’s what you get

when let your heart win.”

But, alas, I’m just a teenager

who’s fighting her own skin.

[By the way, guys, 101 writings!! And a 33 day streak, but like… yeah. also, I came up with a new story idea **yet again** and I wrote it to a competition prompt first, but I will introduce it later on!!]
