I know this girl,
Who took a step back from her life.
And said, "Where am I?"
"I've been around for nineteen years,
I've a pile of bad memories,
a bucket full of sparkling tears."
Where was she?
Certainly not here.
"I've a box of photos,
A bunch of pencils,
A lot of drawings,
But I'm unfulfilled."
I know this girl,
Who used to burn off her skin.
She couldn't stop herself,
She let the pain fill in,
The gaps in her memory.
"Let the pain fill in,
The emptiness that is me.
Let the scarred spots on my skin,
Begin to define me."
I know this girl,
Who needs a friend.
Not another 'outside' friend,
Who talks about weekend plans,
And remembers parties,
That were once shared.
This girl needs someone,
Who
may not understand her,
But won't pretend to either.
Won't attempt to read her.
There is no one there,
No one here
Who can do be such.
She says:
"I thought I knew myself well,
I wish somebody would just tell
Me that I'm not okay.
That I don't have to fake it,
I can live in this way.
I'd give them my trust
And they wouldn't break it."
I know this girl who cries,
And doesn't think it's wrong.
She doesn't bother to hide,
That she never can belong.

there are no strings left to pull.
i feed on broken dreams
and never will be full.
today i burn a blue candle
tomorrow i will just burn.
dead or alive?
i'd like to have someone
to hold onto
or hide out in.

jealous of those tiny girls.

abercrombie and fitch size two,

a part of everything?

i could melt away seven
thousand times and still return,
as ashes of the memories
you chose to boldly burn.
death played me a tune a few days ago...
i sang along...coldly...remembered...
or perhaps forgot where i came from.
where was i one year ago?
somewhere far from here...
planning my escape.
i understand now
that this was not escape.
this was not about me.
it never was about me...
someone's mind chose my body,
and then became bored...
and left me here,
vacant...untrusting...broken
able to hear what isn't spoken...
i could waste away eight
thousand times and return.
With nothing to show
But a few ugly burns.

Glitter...white snow
Morhine dreams...
Where to go...
Girl with no hair
Girl with a blank stare.
Girl beneath the stairs...
Go towards something
Towards nothing girl.
Nothing girl...
Chasing bubbles...
Glitter white snow
Morphine...bubbles
Candy- milk chocolate...
With those little crispy things...
Uh huh...nestle crunch girl...
Broken pill girl...
Girl with nothng...girl...without...
What?  What?  Huh...without...bubble...
Without her snow...
Nothing girl...oh girl, oh my nothing...
Oh...oh nothing girl.
Snowflake nothing knowing girl.
Knowing the stairs
And the stare...
In a bubble...where?
Oh nothing.
Just said: oh nothing girl.

Paper doll girl..
Broken glass
Paper hit girl
Hit girl...
Broken clock girl.
Glass of ice water.
Water beneath the ice.
Not so nice.
Nice girl...
Not so mean girl.
Dolls, dolls, girls' dolls.
How about it girl?
Sunny day...
Warmth of summer.
Warm girl.
Where's your coldness now?
Icy girl...ice and snow girl.
Girl inside a snowglobe
Statue of liberty snowglobe girl.
Girl without shoes.
Dead girl on the news.
Dead...dead...why...
Used to feel alive.
Used to feel girl
Nothing's real girl
Nothing...nothing...nothing girl

laying here
the hum of the incinerator
is like a lullabye.
it's a little song i
wrote for you.
do you need my lullabye?
the wind passes through
the leaves on this tree
i sit beneath.
it sounds so beautiful
it sounds like the
bumblebees who hover
by my incinerator
when there's nothing left to burn.
