distracted by a conversation, then a sudden forceful movement surprised her.
what is happening she asks herself as she pushes away from the intoxicated boy.
“stop”, the word that meant close to nothing that night.
“we can’t do this”, you have a girlfriend she thinks to herself.
a drunk friend in need, help is all she wants to do but forced upon her is two lips that meet her own.
lonely is what he feels but it isn’t right, she knows it will be a regret if he remembers what happened that night.
so the night comes to an end.
she gets away and he falls asleep.
communication dies and time goes on
memories will die that’s just how the world works, don’t live in regret... for it darkens the soul

Looking down and losing myself among the freshly brewed tea
Steaming hot and ready to drink
Although I know I’ll get burned
I take a sip
Thinking it won’t hurt
Retreating my lips from the cup
Exasperated, I yelp out in agony
I feel as if this is how my love is hence relinquished

Alone
Sleeping on an empty bed
Alone
Waking and getting ready
Alone
Walking along the streets
Alone
Shopping for one
Alone
I could go on and on but I would still be doing it
Alone

A life of blurred conception
With broken legs I chase perfection
I find myself repeating the question,
Why am I not worthy?

I give my all to meet your needs
Inside I break, falling to my knees
My lungs collapse and my heart no longer beats
Why am I not worthy?

You give me standards I cannot reach
You drain my hope, blood to a leech
I cannot help but recite the same old speech
Why am I not worthy?

I can do no more to impress
You drug me through all this distress
You seek others, finding me less
WHY AM I NOT WORTHY?

I realize, shuddering with fear
A truth speaking loud and clear
As I watch my reflection in the mirror
I will never be worthy.

Why do I get so frustrated
Just by seeing others next to you
You laugh with them and smile at them
Yet I am frustrated
I know It’s not my right to be but
I just can’t help thinking why can’t that be me...

My eyes are like the fog around a lake on a cold morning day
Shaded and grey
Yet as intriguing as the summer haze
As daylight savings time shortens our days to bring us an early sunset ray
Quiet,
I lay my head to rest upon my fluffed up pillow set
Falling asleep quickly to awake bright and early and feel as great as when our eyes had met...

My eyes follow you
Unknowingly I stare
My friend breaks my attention
Asking me what I was doing,
Do I dare answer her and tell her I was staring at someone I care about deeply.
No.
So I suddenly answered nothing
But she knew and said staring at him again... looking down I said no
Embarrassed as ever,
What do I do to break that habit that is continuously there?
