2:59 pm.
i'm dressed nice,
not for you.
a classy, red dress
hugging my body
which i've barely just begun to love.
classy, but showing off;
that's the way you like to act.
but i never invited your touch -
you have to know this.
when your hand went up my inner thigh,
i did not condone it.
but i didn't stop it.
i guess that's my new thing now -
i can't say yes but i can't say no.
i used to be a lot stronger than this
but somewhere
i lost myself - the hardcore, the independence.
i'm dressed nice,
this black laced bralette
barely holding me in.
drunk, now.
and a little sad.
waiting in your bed.
you told me you'd be there in a minute,
but you were taking too long.
i woke up to you
telling me to sleep on the couch -
you have another "special" friend.
and i don't hold it against her.
hell, i am her.
same place,
meeting a new guy
just to smash on a first night whim.
the guys warned me about you -
your best friends told me to stay away from you.
i knew you were bad,
it was in the back of my mind the whole time.
i woke up the next morning
with it slapped across my face:
why didn't i just listen?
it must be my love of self destruction.
