Unread Lines

Hey You-
Funny how the same words i say everyday
Are the same words i just can't seem to say.
When all i am is choking on each one of them
While they run through my head, again and again
And at night, i sing myself to sleep picturing times
When i finally sputter out all these unread lines
You know if i could, i'd say what i really mean to you
You know i know, you only deserve the truth.
If this is what it's like to fall apart,
I only want for you to have my heart.
Why is it anything else you'll accept as a gift from me?
I've got my heart in my hand, and i'm offering it for free.
I know it's for you, when your arms are the only place I find safety.
You know i miss the way you used to look at me.
You know i regret throwing away your arms fitted carefully around my waist.
And I want you words whispered perfectly to me at night, so late.
You know i'm not like the other girls
But i must be cuzz with you i loved to flirt.
You once told me this was right,
You used to tell me you missed me during the night.
What happened to all the missing?
What happened to all that future kissing?
Why am i only left with wasted wishing?
I want you back, you know i'd take you back like that.
Everyday, the same things i hear you say
Everyday, i'm on my knees only to pray
That you might open your eyes at 3 a.m.
And start to think of me like you did back then.
You wouldn't understand that i'm so confused
You only understand what it's like to be refused.
If it almost happened once, why not once more?
Why is it you never think of me anymore?
He told me to stay strong
He told me to hold on
That someday you'd wake up from your stupidity
Only to find yourself thinking of only me.
So here I am. Stuck here wishing it was true.
That you might miss me as much as i miss you.
That you might love me as much as
I love you,
Brenna

You wouldn't understand that i'm so confused
You only sympathize with what it's like to be refused.
If it almost happened then, why not once more?
Why is it you never think of me anymore?
A friend of ours told me to stay strong
And then he told me to hold on
That someday you'll wake up from your stupidity
Only to find yourself thinking of only me.
So here I am. Stuck here wishing it was true.
That you might miss me as much as i miss you.
That you might love me as much as I love you.
Honestly, I'd see no point in getting up on Monday
But seeing you is something I just can't turn away.
The mascara running down my cheek
Is worth it when you hold me while I'm weak.
And falling to the floor from laughing so hard
Is worth it when you catch me in your arms.
I always find myself trying to find the words
That might end up being the cure
To solving this unknown disease to me
Symptoms include not being able to speak
The words I'm trying to get through,
All these unread lines I've written to you.
I find myself forced to watch you and her
As you hold her in your arms, so much closer
Than you ever held me. What did I do to deserve this?
Whatever happened to your promise?
As soon as you and Sarah were through
It was just supposed to be me and you.
I should've known i'd never be quite right.
Should've realized i'll never reach her height.
You found Miss Perfect and nothing else matters
No broken promises or hearts. Mostly the latter.
For 9 months now I've been searching for the words
That'll fix everything in my life that hurts.
So i'll just sit here and remind myself once again
'Just don't look or cry, just stare straight ahead.'
Maybe then I can pretend that it's not happening
Pretend that this person shaking isn't really me.
Maybe if these unread lines were read they might portray
That now is the perfect time for us to walk our seperate ways.
