X Telling Me About The Loss Of Something Dear At Age 16 Tab

by Hello Saferide


                                    
I looked up at the ceiling the entire time

                        
Well it didn’t last for long

                                
Like 15 minutes or so. They had said it would hurt, but it didn’t

                                     
His face all grumped up, veins were showing on his forehead

                                
Closed my eyes and thought of dancers,

                                
closed my eyes and thought of dancers


                                  
I thought of what my friends would say

                                            
I thought of how my life would change

                                   
I just laid real still there on the bed.


                                       
Afterwards I said, like I hear you’re supposed to:

                        
“Was it good for you as well”

                                    
He was proud, said: “Ok we can do it again

                                                   
But maybe this time, you can do it better than this


You can do it better than this.”

I faked to come, because I hear you’re supposed to

                                                                   
There was obviously something wrong with me and I didn’t want him to know


                                       
I was afraid he’d have a heartattack and die

                                                
I went to work at the shoestore and waved him goodbye

                             
I felt sad, but I didn’t know why

                           
Do you want those in red, I said

                  
250 with laces, I said

                                     
Years later, I can still vision that forehead
