The frothy waves reflect everything As they are kissed by the pale blue sky and the liquid gold that descends on the horizon The waves start of as graygreen, then white as they crest And as they extend for their five second lifespan on the dark sand They turn a brilliant baby blue touched with a burning orange of the now fading sun.
I watched and waited Anticipated what might happen when you pulled into the parking lot Cold hands shoved deep into my pockets, feeling around for what I was supposed to say Ideas ping-ponged back and forth but no poetry escaped my pursing lips Even as you pulled into the parking lot, Let your engine cough and sputter like all the things that I tried to say to you that night Tried to hide inside myself as I sat in the passenger seat Confused, conflicted, jaded, manipulated I let my mouth run like the Nile, But it didn’t matter a word I said…
You were beautiful like the ocean But unlike the frothy waves that reflect the pale blue sky and liquid gold that they are kissed by You reflected nothing as you pulled away from my lips Your hands still wrapped around my waist Tugging at my jacket’s zipper Because I already bare my soul, so why not bare my body, too For you…I wouldn’t have thought twice Following the advice of my two best friends, I was more naughty than nice for once in my life I went in for the **** and I got Stabbed Clearly it was a simple and sincere mistake to make Out with your best friend and into the pants of her closest classmate, mister I-don’t-date-friends: I hope you’re happy how this ends. The sea swallows the sun Leaving only but a pale orange afterglow.
