Some of us can never keep it together, most of us are falling apart. She tears like tissue in your hands

Break, break, break

Some of us can never keep it together; most of us are falling a p a r t.

but she,

she doesn't mind,

(covers herself in shards of gli.t.ter & glass, breaks your heart when she says " Sugar, some things are meant to be broken"

The girls tears apart her stitches, wears pins on the souls of her stilettos, painting her nails with downfalls & delirium.)

she comes wrapped in ribbons and your inadequacies,

she dressed herself in someone else's pain, (It's always easier when its not your own) lost kisses & the secrets pulled from your fingers

Leaving sugar sprinkled across your floor

And kisses on the collar's of one- too -many martinis

(She's sophisticated like that)

She picks up her glass, looks at you & smiles

thinking of her hands through your hair, grazing her fingers on your cheekbones, cut.t.ing her lips on your edges

breaking a p a r t as she tries to breathe

You want to hold her, you try to hold her,

-But she tears in your hands.
