So, Forgettable
This girl
That girl
Another girl
Girls I do know
Girls I don’t know
Anyone but me.
I had no idea I was so forgettable.
Stolen kiss
Delicious tension
A lingering touch seared on my lower back
The inevitable:
Do you want to come back to my place?
The heat of the moment
Are you okay?
Lies, lies, lies
Because I’m too ugly?
Because I’m too fat?
Because I’m too weird?
Because I’m too much of a virgin?
Doesn’t he know
That I should
could
would be anything for him?
He likes it better with her
He makes her feel good for her
He pulls the blankets over her
He shuts the blinds for her
He only smiles for her
He likes it better with her
And I’m here;
Stuck. Waiting.
Strike Out,
