He knocks on her door with
No more than a smile and
A few flowers.

She's wearing her blue summer dress,
The one she wore in
Hawaii weeks ago.

They take the car
To the ice cream shop,
A bright light on a dimly lit street.

And the girl and the boy
Eat mint chip and cookie dough
Together on the steps in the park.

He tells her, "I like your smile."

She says, "Thanks."

And the girl and the boy
Sit in the park together,
Crickets filling in the silence.

"i didn't mean to disappoint"
is her own sort of poem

it makes me sad and
makes me laugh together

she has disappointed;
cruel words and mean sneers,
hate under the compliments she gives

the emptiness and sadness of her lonely life,
the sneers i gave in return
makes it sad.

"i didn't mean to disappoint"
is her own sort of poem

sugar on her lips
a smile

sugar, sugar

she's the kind that
burns your throat if you eat
too much

and the fox hunts the rabbit,
because that's how the world goes.
and the frown appeared on her face
because that's how the world goes.
but there's always the one rabbit
that makes it home safe.

so all you have to do
is outrun the fox.

lift me off the ground,
lift me in the air.
the sky is clearer here,
the air purer.
my head feels clean
your hands tickle.
lift, lift
lift me up.

it's been a while --
i've almost forgotten the ways
of your laughs and the taste of your
happiness
[it's been so long
since i've seen you smile]

it's been a while --
i'm ready to see you,
but there's so much longer
and i really doubt you want to see me too
[it's been so long
since you've made me smile]

it's been a while --
but now we're here
and to you i'm probably just a nothing girl
[it's been so long,
and together can we please smile?]

every time i see you,
i see you
the gears cranking in your head
                 boxes, boxes of information
                                   gathering dust.

on the outside, i see you
bronze and a sky of dawn

but the words out of my mouth are
                                       nothing
they're nothing to you
and when i do speak
my words are choked up,
