who needs love when all the hate is here?

people don't change but have two faces.
i see a new one everday
i'm a hometown hero made villian.
made infamous with words behind my back
i'm a dead shot, but always off.
you're a sure bet, but i'm a loss.
to the love that never made it past pen or keyboard,
to the hearts that are made stone and carved in to you.
to kids like us,
to liars and fakes.
to trainwreck romances and desperate last chances.
to wearing hearts on your sleeves like a fashion statement.
to the times that you almost gave up
but the pen had saved a life.
to every boy that ever felt like this.


love,
