But It Never Came To This
New favorite Nina Simone Song: "Save Me".
Onto my 'writing assignment'...I'll claim it as mine even though I don't have the official nerd girl club t-shirt.
Why You Should Love Me:
You shouldn't. I'll break your heart and steal your carkeys and laugh all the way home.
No, I won't. I'll say things like that, wishing I could be *that* girl. and you'll never know when I'm speaking the truth or when I'm wishing it. And that will be beautiful.
You shouldn't. I'll squeeze a million truths out of every lie we'll tell each other and i'll believe every single one with all of my heart. I'll deconstruct your reality and build you back up as my own private fantasy and you'll never know whether you're a man or a dream. And that will be beautiful.
You shouldn't. I'm strong when I desperately want to be weak, but you'll see my clenched jaw and know that in an infinity of a moment it longs to quiver and you're the only one who ever sees because you're the only one who ever really looked and when I finger my scars you'll know that I wish the wind never blew and when I hold my head up you'll know that I'm fragile and you could break me with a harsh whisper and when I walk through the world you'll know that the only grace I ever had I spat into the alley that night and replaced with wild laughter. And we will be beautiful.
