Don't compare me

I can't compete.
Then again I don't want too.
I can't be the girl you lost.
I wont be her.
I will never be her.

Please don't compare me to her.
We are two different beings.

She is the moon.
She is soft and lovely to look at.
Coy with the parts of herself she is willing to show you.
She is mysterious and extraordinary.


I am the sun.
You are basking in my light and appreciating my presence,
but my devotion burns hard.
Its overwhelming.
You are relieved when I relinquish the sky so she can appear.

You can gaze at her for hours.
She is really beautiful.
You look at her and you think she can't hurt you.


But you can't look at me.
You appreciate my beauty but never setting eyes on me.
I want to be looked at too.

But at the end of every night,
She leaves you and she's empty and you might be too.

And every morning when I rise,
I want you to rise with me and be together.
Providing heat and passion,
No one is able to handle it, especially you.

Comparing the sun and moon can't be done.
Please don't compare me to her.

Addicted

 I've never been addicted to drugs or alcohol before. But I'm addicted to people. I crave certain attention because of the lack of love I got as a child. At least that's what the internet and my therapist say.  I get angry at this boy. This simple, basic boy. This beautifully average, simple boy. I get angry with him.  "Why are you angry at him?"  Because he makes me smile. He makes me laugh.  I don't want to laugh. I don't want to smile.   It tricks my mind into thinking I'm okay. So I tell him, "You make me angry." Naturally, he asks me, "why?"  "Because I'm happy when I'm with you."  You see, the problem is, I'm not ready to be happy.  I'm not ready to be treated with respect. I'm not ready to be showered with positive attention. I was used to being sad. It felt normal to be treated like an afterthought.  So when someone comes around and doesn't make me sad, who doesn't make me feel like an a...

3AM Wednesday Mornings

     He picked me up at 2am. I was fighting an anxiety attack right before he picked me up. I pushed it down as best as I could. I wasn't going to let my anxiety ruin a possible good night. The drive to the beach was quiet, with small talk occasionally filling the air. We eventually reached our destination.       It was 50 degrees but with the beach breeze it was probably closer to 40. The sky was clear and the breeze nipped at my cheeks. We gazed at the stars and talked about if aliens actually did exist. We swapped stories about all sorts of things in our lives. And we were so very cold but we didn't really mind since we were just enjoying each other company.  We both laid on our sides looking at each other for a few moments until I complained about how cold the ground was. I sat up and he laid on his back and pulled me down so I was laying on him. He was warm. He said I could put my hands in his hoodie pocket but I ended up putting them under h...
