Revisited

Two high-school kids

They were

Friends

Lovers

Friends

He spun her around

and when she opened her eyes

He was gone again

She sucked his neck

As though to draw blood

But he didn't know

How her world stopped: crash! halt!

for him

and her breathing was the background music

to his words: her theme song

and everytime she waited

she waited too long

He couldn't quite tell her

What she meant to him

But threw hints that fell like breadcrumbs

And were eaten by birds

And everytime he kissed her forehead

He didn't know she hurt

A little more

She thought it was over

Just like a thousand times before

But the only door out

it was too small

and she couldn't fit

so she waited for her potion

and bit her lip

and he jumped her

for dancing to 60's music

and he called her cute

but she wasn't

she went home wearing him

and he smelt of her

she didn't know how often

she crossed his mind

but guessed none of the time

she was so wrong.
