 * Poignant Lines**

My arms Won't keep you here They are not strong enough My legs lay bent and broken Upon the ground My fingers Wrap themselves around The only feelings I have left My feet itch- They are too tightly bound My eyes are bloodshot and dry I cannot see you walk away I beg my throat to produce a sound Any sound That would make you stay The only words That have yet to be spoken Are the ones that truly matter And I fear they will Never make it past my chapped lips

You knocked me down With the palm of your eye As I walked by In shame as my face blazed Bright red You swept me off my feet Just to drop me on my head And now As I lay in my empty bed I think of your lips Always spilling sharp secrets Into the throats of Fellow students Their arms are willing And their hands grab For your sweet skin Your very presence pulls them in You are a black hole Surrounded by bright light To distract passerby From the malice in your heart You are the wolf And I am just another sheep In school girl's clothing Don't sink your teeth into me

My eyes fly open at the sound of my ringtone, Master Exploder by Tenacious D. I glance at my cell, but the light hurts my eyes. My head is pounding, racing, screaming. My fingernails dig into the tender skin behind my ears, and I wish they were made of sharp metal. The pills I ate are churning in my stomach, making me feel hazy and less than lucid. I reach for my glass of pulp-free orange juice with a shakey hand, pausing to stare at it. The finger that was once home to the ring you gave me is now bare.
