I’D GIVE UP FOREVER JUST TO BE
WITH YOU
BUT I DON’T THINK YOU’D UNDERSTAND
BECAUSE I
A TEENAGE GIRL
HAVE NEVER FELT THIS WAY ABOUT ANYONE BEFORE
AND THAT’S WHAT SCARES HER
AND HE HAS TO BE THERE
TO COMFORT HER
TO LET HER KNOW THAT IT’S
OKAY
TO FEEL WHAT SHE’S FEELING
AND THAT HE WILL
ALWAYS
ALWAYS
BE THERE FOR HER
BUT INSTEAD
HE WILL WALK AWAY FROM THE CONVERSATION
OUT THE DOOR
AND LEAVE HER
IN A POOL
OF HER OWN SADNESS
WAITING
WAITING
TO BE CONSUMED BY HER TEARS
