They say not to go back to your ex.... That it's like reading the same line in a book ten times... Maybe you read that line again and again because you've never felt that feeling with any other line you've read. Or that line can tell you how your feeling... Just by how you're holding the book... That's what it is for me... With you. You know how I feel just by the set of my shoulders and jaw, the way I'm holding my hands.I go back again and again because I've never felt the way I do with you... With anyone else. And I miss you, for God sake! I miss you! An angel;Not a Ghost

A rope necklace,a razor sting
These are things that haunt a little girls dream
Gone are ballet slippers of the past
Here is a darkness that's fading in fast.
A crimson bracelet, and fuzzy brain, one of these poisons will dull the pain.
Her family can't hear her.
Her friends fail to try.
How is it this angel is wishing to die?
A corset of ribs, no, ribbons to see she starves for attention, she hopes to break free.
Her mind is a prison, her life is a war.
Is this what her best friend lived and died for?
Whispers and glances at her shadow
now,
They follow her, turn her into a clown.
She folds her hands after crossing her chest.
Night after night, she's praying for
death.
Her virtue is gone now, she's empty
inside.
She laid on her back,and a piece of
her died.
She hears in the hallway, his tale of
that night
He lies, says she never put up a fight.
The pills don't numb her.
The cuts aren't the same.
She wanted to be famous,
but she'll die from the fame.
She shattered her cellphone to stop
the calls, from boys that have found her on desks or in stalls
'Stupid' and 'Ugly'those aren't her
name., she feels like a pawn in the cruelest game.
A rope necklace,a wooden throne
it falls from beneath, she's almost
gone.
A few helpless kicks,a flash of life in
her eyes
She sees what could've been if she
hadn't died.
A husband,a son, and a Labrador
too.
Her life turned out to be happy, but she
never knew.
She saw herself laughing.
She saw herself smile.
She saw that her life was actually
worth while.
And with a jolt, she woke with a shock
though the necklace was heavy, she'd
tied the wrong knot.
Out of her many mistakes, she loved
this one the most.
Now she could be an angel without
being a ghost.
