"i guess i thought you'd say yes" - in which scarlett is a dramatic little bitch :P
---
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
i thought that you
too
were dreaming of
holding my hand
and laying
next to me
but i guess it was
all in my
imagination
a fabrication from my
unruly mess
of a mind
it's fine
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
i thought i was the
hero
of my story
but i guess i never
stopped to think
that i might've been
the villain
in yours
some kind of
unworthy being
who was stabbing
at a chance
for something
it did not deserve
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
even though
you were of
daisies
and i was of
thorns
we do not
grow
on the same
vine
i can only hope
to find my
roses
someday
somewhere
someplace
not with you
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
that you'd give in
to the whims
of teenage
recklessness
i should've
known better
than that
i should've
known you would
think it through
before your
no
came
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
it wasn't as if
i was asking you
to marry me
i was just
praying
that you'd consider
loving me
i guess you thought
that was
stupid
i'd put my heart
on the line
a million more times
if it got me
the taste of your
red lips
on my own
i'd live a hundred
thousand more lives
even though i
hate living
if i just got to spend one
with you
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
even though
you clearly
didn't feel the same
even though
i knew
what was going to
happen
i didn't want to
write about
heartbreak
so this is
all that i will write
the rest of our
drama our
tragedy
will stay
hidden
between the lines
of poems
i wrote
when i was
in love with you
i guess i thought
you'd say yes
but yes is a big
promise
and i guess
yes
was a promise
that you weren't
willing
to keep
