Struggle and Strive

STRUGGLE: Used

Sweet things came out of that mouth

and you made me feel special and wanted and beautiful

all at once.

No one had ever said those things and sounded

so much like they meant them.

You made me believe that age didn't matter

and that I wasn't just another girl.

I can't get you out of my head.

I thought you might be different.

But isn't it funny how the clichés can often be right

and you're actually a jerk just trying to

get into my pants?

I don't love you,

but I thought I liked you

and that's enough to make it hurt

at least for a little while.
