Memories
April 2011 (9th Grade)

I'm looking through your old notes.
Found those little sentences that used to make me smile.
Faded images 
that only lasted for a while.
You told me I was beautiful
when my blue eyes glistened.
Now they shed tears
from the lies that were told when I bothered to listen.
I never did any wrong,
so why do you crush me with your anger?
You can't tell me you love me,
then take it back because of some stranger.
My soul has been poorly fixed with bandages.
My heart bears cracks from misplaced pieces.
I attempt to grow from you,
but you ensure you stay my weakness.
Behind every beautiful girl,
there is a stupid guy that did her wrong.
With that pain,
it makes her strong.
You played me like a card.
Liars have thin layers.
Now your faint memory replays in my head
like an old record player.
