Seventeen Years

I.
"Oops," he said
as he dropped
my heart

II.
I'm still the same height
as I was when I was thirteen.
I haven't grown
at all

III.
I guess, in the end,
coins talk, but
stars never make a sound

IV.
I leaned in close
to kiss death and tell him
that I would be waiting,
but the closer I got
the more I wanted to live

V.
If you tell me
that you love me,
I'll tell you
three words back:
"You are wrong."

VI.
If you use this equation
you can solve that problem,
but real life doesn't
always have a solution

VII.
Monsters are hiding
underneath my bed
because they're deathly afraid
of seeing my face
