her backbone her bed frame crumbled that day a day you decided to give up on the foundation you’d been building so long under that bed frame you made seem so stabile to rest upon the songs you sang for years belonged to you both once now she cries over the rights to sing that verse without the perverse guilt that you stapled in her brain claimed insane for surrendering so much of herself to you and for what so you can step on her emotions instead left her for dead among wolves of tears that tore her from every emotional limb she had sad doesn’t cover it no words do justice to the tears she cried that night maybe that’s why I’m speechless living under this myth "big grrls don’t cry" why?! the strong have cried oceans of salty tears of fears and the merely unavoidable pain like you she's stronger than I could ever be to see that waterfall splash onto me was less than a wonder but a wake up call big grrls cry inch by inch by tear by fist in the wall beside all of that made her feel and to feel is reeling towards maturity’s steering wheel big grrls cry I wish I could cry like her but I wish she didn’t cry for you that’s why you haven’t shed one yet
Reason for writing:
this grrl that im pretty tangled over has this ex-best friend that put her thru so much for nuthin. an eight year friendship down the drain for petty bullshit. and when i saw her cry for her the way she did the other night it broke my heart cuz it hurt so badd to see sumone i care so much for cry over idiot stuff. not to say there was no reason to but some people in the world dont deserve to shed as many tears as they do and this grrl is just onna them. so yah this just poured outta me in five minutes a half an hour before class and yah it was very spur of the moment but its very reall in the sense i feel every word no matter how much it sucks lol.
