My second entry for Mystii's Collection- this one is a LucyLorcan, with the prompt thousand.
Loneliness && Stale Mint Gum
bad news
right darling?
all about that silvery lip gloss
put on just so
and skirts pulled up
not quite too short
and you know that
you've got first dates
down to an art form
(not that there's ever a second date
or any t h i n g)
and the boys are just about
falling at your feet
with lust and like and a thousand shades
of absolutely not love
so dear,
how much longer are you
going to play this game
with all those boy's hearts
(not yours of course
never yours)
but maybe
you're going to get a taste of
your own medicine
(just wait)
it tastes like
blue eyes/black hair/mint gum
and it's name is
(a secret)
and for a little while
it's w o n d e r ful
(but don't they all start out that way)
and you and him
make it past
first date- second- third
and it's amazing
Merlin, you've never ever
been so happy
'til one night you tell him
I love you
like all those silly stupid boys
told you
and he looks at you
for a moment
blue eyes staring through yours
for a thousand
too long seconds
and then he kisses you
long and slow and lovely
and it's
not long enough
and you fall asleep
with the soundtrack of breathing and
a beating heart
lulling you to sleep
(for the first time in-
in forever)
and you dream that night
of a thousand nights
exactly like this one
you wake up to
cold sheets
no note
nothing except for
a pack of gum
and loneliness
so, little girl
looks like your medicine
tastes like
a thousand salty tear&&stale mint gum
