A little like *****
you said you were buzzed
and we were lying on the floor
talking and I don't remember what about
then you kissed me so sweetly
and we were talking and kissing intermittently
until around 3 AM when I had to leave
I'm so glad that you kissed me that night
Otherwise we might have been together for that one day
instead of all summer

Dangerous girls with ****** lipstick and low rise skirts
with cold mean eyes to hide their own secret sadness
The kind who think nothing of tearing another girls to pieces
with words sharp as fingernails and teeth
Sweet girls with eyes and voices cotton candy soft
usually with hair and personalities to match
the ones everyone wants to be close to
and loved by
Strong girls who fill rooms with their presences
the commanding, assertive ones
Wounded girls who skulk in corners
waiting for someone to offer their hand
Oh, but the most dangerous girls
are the ones who are secretly wild
with a fire smoldering under their skins
so when they open their mouths to howl
or laugh
or cry
It can only be for a short while so the flames don't escape

My heart broke today
I heard it crack open in my chest
When you held me so tightly and told me goodbye
And I was trying not to howl in despair
Around the lump in my throat
From the weight of the words under my tongue

Unlikely that we're in love
And even less likely that we'll be together for longer than this summer
And yet,
Something about two people who maybe used to love each other
But couldn't admit it out loud
Lying next to each other almost naked and feeling this sameness
Has to mean something,
Doesn't it?

— The End —
