i wanted to write you something today
with stolen words
and feelings from another
with an exaggeration
of my emotion
and how my heart sighs
when it hears your name

but i didnt want to be think
i didnt want to be true
i didnt want to sound like
all the fake sonnets
that remind me
of how i felt

i wanted to write you something today
something copied,
plagiarized
with big rounded letters
something i couldn't create
to express how you make me feel
when the truth is uncovered

but i didnt want to seem like i cared
i didnt want to be honest
i didnt want to be like
the other pirates
who use the words of others
to express their would-be-feelings

i wanted to write you something today
on your skin
with simple slits
in blood
with bruise marks
to cover where i broke your heart
because sometimes i do that

but i didnt want to use to my own words
i didnt want to repeat myself
i didnt want you to think i cared
i didn't think about it too much
so i decided to be simple
and say it like this...

.....Fake
