Things I Can't Have

There are a lot of things I can't have:

You

Your love

Your care.

I shouldn't be allowed your smile

Or to ask you truth or dare.

I shouldn't be given your warmth

Or your adoration;

I can't be trusted with precious things

They're my annihilation.

I want you so badly

But I haven't earned you yet.

I did a lot of things

That maybe I regret.

I want to make it right

But every time I try

I only make it worse;

I have no alibi.

    They Ask Me

    They ask what to do and

    Where to go and

    What they should prepare for.

    I could give them a list

    Like my teachers gave me.

    Should've told it to a page in an in-between

    Far from permanence.

    I should've written it in erasable graphite

    Should've whispered it to no one

    Resist It

    I am begging you, resist it.

    I promise that you can.

    I know it's hard and challenging

    But you know, you know she's banned.

    She's off limits.

    Don't play that game.

    She's poisonous and dangerous.
