Summers ago I remember. All my friends were getting together to have a drink and a BBQ. I Was So Excited! The First Summer Of Secondary School That I Actually Had Friends. The First Summer To Be Spent In The Sun, Not Hiding Behind The Curtains In My Room. Not Curled Up With Misery Or Doom. I packed a bag and got bus fair, I think mum was happy that I wasn't going to be there, not in a mean way, just glad I had some plans for my day. Enjoying Lady Gaga On The Bus, I Got To Where I Was Going, Then I Call To Confirm The Place & I'm Told I'm Not Going.
Gas Lit and lies, My plans turned to flame and then ash. I felt gob-smacked, In a way intimately attacked. I Felt Sick, Apple Hard Heart In My Throat, I Felt Thick, Salt Stinging Eyes Still Afloat. I Felt Used, Toyed Like A Game and Forgotten. I stood at that bus stop and swallowed my pain, I stood at that bus stop and waited again, I stood at that bus stop wont sink down the drain, I've held my cards close so close it's insane. I just wanted some friends, but was left with my brain.
