One - If I could, I would nail these hands to the edges of
stars I would sacrifice this body to the sky hoping to resurrect that
someone spiteful enough to not care about you anymore
Two - Staple me to a cross, pierce my side with a broken promise
and I will bleed all the crippled reasons why you deserve one more chance
Three - Loving you was the last thing I that felt really good at
Four - You want to know how I got these scars? Well, I ripped every
last piece of you out of my smile
Five - I whispered you stardust!
Six - I spoke you into sunflowers!
Seven - I dipped my hands in forever, I touched you infinity,
treated you as if you were the last molecule of oxygen inside of a gas chamber,
I was good to you
Eight - You want to know how I got these scars? I swallowed my
pride, and then it clawed it’s way out of my mouth
Nine- I realized, that I was never really your boyfriend, I was your
hype man
Ten - Hope your next boyfriend gets small pox
Ten - Yes, I said small pox!
Ten - I hate you!
Ten - But I miss you!
Ten- And I still love you!
Ten - I still love you!
Ten - I still love you!
It’s hard for me to count, when I get emotional,
Ten - I heard that 90% of human interaction is non-verbal, so…
Ten - If I could, I would tie your arms to a daydream and auction
you off to my fondest memory
To the random dude who started dating my ex-girlfriend 2 days after we
broke up, yes, I saw that shit on Facebook
Now, when I realized, that you were in a relationship with a girl I
thought I would spend the rest of my life with, I walked outside and said to
myself “There’s no way Ashton Kutcher will catch me off guard” I waited 45
minutes
But I guess, I’m the only practical joke in this situation
One - The first time I saw you and her in a
picture, I wanted to take my entire arm, shove it inside of the computer, and
snatch the happiness right off of your face
Two - If I ever see you in the
street, I’m probably going to punch you in the throat
Three - I apologize in advance, I know that it makes no sense to
have this much anger toward a man that I never met face to face, but my
definition of love is being robbed in an alley 8 times in a row and hoping that
something about today that makes all of this different, there is nothing
logical about cutting off the most important parts of yourself and putting them
inside hands that shake, that tremble and crack like a Haitian sidewalk
Four - There is nothing rational about love, love stutters when it
gets nervous, love trips over it’s own shoe laces, love is clumsy and my heart
refuses to wear a helmet
Five - Cupid is irresponsible, and I’m tired of them using me for
target practice
Six - I was told, time heals all wounds, but what exactly do you do
on days when it feels like the hands on your clock have arthritis?
Seven - She always wore her heart on her sleeve, so tell me, why
the hell do you look so familiar?
Eight - I think I’ve seen you somewhere in her smile, like I heard
your voice in her laughter, I bet if we dusted her heart for finger-prints we
would only find yours
Nine - I have this envelope, it’s full of all the butterflies that
I felt the first time she relaxed the velcro on her lips and smiled in my
direction, most of them are still alive, I guess these belong to you too
