Hearts remain broken
In warm bodies
Under thick blankets
On soft beds
-but they hurt less like this

Blue is a feeling.
Navy blue is sad. The type of sad you get at 3 in the morning when all you want is that one person that you can't have, you wrap your arms around a pillow and let you face sink in, maybe one day they'll love you again.
Sky blue is exciting. The type excitement you get on a road trip, the view of the clouds mixing with the sky as you lay in the back of your minivan driving down a high way with your 10year old brother asleep beside you.
Icy blue is carefree. its in the jeans your wearing as you climb out of the tractor, past the barn and into your grandparents house, brushing strands of hay off of your clothing and sneaking into the cabinets for just one more cookie.
French baby blue is happiness. it's the water as you sit on the dock with your cousins laughing at the waves that rush up against your legs almost making you forget about the ice cream cone that's melting away and dripping down your hand.
Periwinkle is this conversation, It's being around you, everything is soft, calm and quiet. your shoulder against mine and suddenly it's just you and I, simple yet wonderful.

I want to be you but I'm supposed to want to be with him
-how much longer until I can be yours again
__________________________
A smile and a wave
That's all it takes
A conversation in the corner
"Did you get taller,
Or am i getting shorter?"
In comes the food
Out goes all the news
Laughter and chatter
We're all a couple pounds fatter
Cake and coffee
Gets passed around
Conversation is brought to an end
When the sun goes down

You give to him
Hoping he'll give back
You meet him late one night
Wearing something lacy and black
You want him
But not in the same way
That he wants you
You want to love him
He just wants you to use
You let him do things
Because you're afraid to say no
Afraid you're not the only one
And he'll just ask his other hoes
He doesn't treat you right
He keeps you up at night
Baby girl when will you see
You have enough power
To bring these boys to their knees
They say you're a princess
Girl, you're a queen
You deserve so much more
Than you believe
Open your eyes
You can get a good guy
You can make him a good guy
Just demand he treats you right
And if he chooses not to
Keep him out of your life

This bed is so big I think it was made for two, I think it was made for both me and you

I want more of you
Not in the way that
You are not enough
But in the way that
There is not enough of you
________________________
When you're around
There's a smile on her face
When you look at her
Her heart starts to race
________________________
Try to piece back together all the things I forgot, I should remember but around you I tend to loose control of my thoughts

He says
He doesn't always sleep alright
He says
He wishes I was there those nights
He says
He wants more of me in his life
-I wonder what that'd be like
________________________
You stand
across the room
Far enough so that
I can not reach you
You're in a conversation
And so am I
I try to stay focused
but you've caught my eye
Come a little closer
Please
I want your arm in its place
(Which is around me)
I'm craving you
Badly
There's nothing I can do
Sadly
If you wanted to be here
You would be
If you would just open your eyes
You would see me
