raincity

penetrating the walls, invading my space, 

comes the sound. 

it chases me, finds me, leaves me with no place to hide. 

searching for the source, I face the noise, 

I found it was easier to forget than to hold on, 

a relief to consider myself free. 

I never could’ve realized how suffocating it was to chase thrills, 

the night, smooth as silk, wraps me in a warm embrace 

the heat of the moment takes me by surprise, 

I tried slamming the door, 

Staying quiet, listening, keeping myself locked up, 

Pretending it wasn’t real, 

I wonder what kind of mind lies behind those big brown eyes,  

behind her laugh, which makes the sweetest souls swoon, 

behind her smile, infectious and sugar sweet. 

yet through it all, 

I watch him from afar, as he gets out of his car. 
I can tell he’s scared. 
I smooth out my dress and lean up against the brick behind me. 
I watch his eyes, and they tell me everything I need to know.
