She was surrounded by people with different identities People celebrating being somebody else, if only for one night Or possibly they were more themselves than ever Perhaps they're reflecting the monsters they see in themselves at midnight
It was supposed to be a happy night and a fun party With laughs, good food and jokes So why were so many people sad? Oh right, all of our love lives ******
Owen had a crush on Kitty, Ellie had fallen for Jake, Nate needed closure with Erica who never even came And I was in love with the boy allergic to straight answers
With him things can never be in black and white When I ask him a question yes, no and maybe are all his answers That boy was a huge mystery That I intended to master
He wore a tux, a top hat and a mustache drawn in sharpie And *******, did he look good I was dressed like Sherlock Holmes But he was still an enigma I couldn't understand
I must admit, I made a ****** detective And I could never be a Sherlock Holmes I wasn't smart enough to get down to the science of how I felt And as much as I wish I could, I was never able to read his emotions
But I was tired of pining over someone who would never love me back I needed to tell him we couldn't be friends anymore, because I was too fond of him Apparently I was more ignorant than I thought Because according to everyone I was the only one who couldn't see you loved me a lot So I found you and asked you if that was really true You smiled at me and said "No ****, Sherlock."
Another poem written about Nicholas. I've been writing about him a lot lately and thinking about our relationship and I thought about the night we decided to go out which was at a Halloween party and this poem is pretty much true except he never actually said "No ****, Sherlock." While writing this that just popped in my head and I thought that would be quite cool. This poem kind of reminds me of some of my favorite lyrics from Death Cab For Cutie " "Cause the chase is all you know And she stopped running months ago" I don't know, maybe I just want an excuse to promote my favorite band but it feels perfect.
