Don't Look Back
[[Stop staring.]]
[[Keep walking.]]
One- foot- in- front- of - the- other.
[[Before she catches you.]]
A ((few)) ((more)) steps to your locker.
[[Don't let her see how you -really-feel.]]
Because you know
She'll never feel the (same.)
She's coming.
Pretend not to notice her.
[[Ignore yourself]]
Gather your p~r~i~d~e.
Look away.
And (don't). (look). (back).
" S e a n ."
She sings my name
with a {delicate beauty}
Each letter ((laced)) ((together))
Inp~a~t~i~e~n~c~e.
S l o w l y, d r a w i n g o u t
each syllable to dance
in the lingering of d o u b t .
Is it possible?
I p-u-s-h those [[thoughts]] away.
[[Gnashing]] them with anger,
H umiliation ,
R-e-s-e-n-t-m-e-n-t.
You're making a((fool of yourself))
B-e-c-a-u-s-e ofher.
No. Its not possible.
Because you know she'll destroy you.
You're nothing but twisted up souls,
S-e-a-r-c-h-i-n-g for an escape
To ((stop)) the p.a.i.n.
Windows shuttering in the wind,
Getting r~i~p~p~e~d a~p~a~r~t
B i t b y b i t.
You only want s o m e o n e to pick up
E v e n j u s t [[one piece]]
of your
(s) (h) (a) (t) (t) (e) (r) (e) (d)
b~l~e~e~d~i~n~g
heart.
And it works.
But only for so long.
She'll only T-e-a-r your feelings a p a r t,
s|h|a|t|t|e|r your {{hammering}} {{heart}}
Tear away your very breath.
You foolish little boy.
She could [never] love
An u-g-l-y b-e-a-s-t like you.
You're an outcast.
You always s c r e w u p.
Y o u c a n 't d o anything right.
So why should you deserve her?
She's o u t o f y o u r league.
But look at her.
So b e a u t i f u l.
So [s][m][a][r][t]...
If she would only [[give]] me a chance. . .
I could s|h|o|w h|e|r that
S*p*a*r*k*s can fly...
Stop it, Sean.
I refuse to {look} at her.
She's deceiving you,
With the (m)(i)(r)(r)(o)(r)(e)(d) passion
You thought you saw.
Because in the long run,
You can't feel something that wasn't ever [[there]]
In the first place.
But oh!
How I'll m~i~s~s you,
[My] [Beautiful] [Brown-eyed] [Emma].
