Him, Her, and the Room

She dreads to do this every day

dreads to walk into the room

where she and all she knew

learn to live with the gloom

of living the same again and again


but she gets to see him every time

she walks into the room without her pain

her friend is there for her to keep her alive

even though her gloom returns like the continuous rain

the rain that hit the windows of the room all day


she stares out the window

looking at the world from the promised safety

of the room in which she feels stuck

she doesn't want to live so safely

she wants to explore the world she's in


He is there every day and she can't tell

what he thinks about this room so secure

she cannot tell why he always is so happy

to see her, she'll never be sure

He can't tell that she cares so much


she never thought to tell him

but she really appreciates him being there

there for her when she needs him

she wants him to know that she does care

and she always has


He's afraid to tell her how he feels

he wishes she could see it

he wishes she would see how much

he wishes he could admit

how much he loves her


she loves him too

but she refuses to see

how he really feels for her

under the name of modesty

she won't tell anyone


using the name of modesty

to hide all of her insecurity

she has to pretend she's normal

to hide all of her immaturity

she's only a kid you know


he uses that he's male

to justify being a child

even though it is really okay

for him to be so wild

he needs to just be a kid


together they are the best of friends

and they never seem to lose hope

He was silly, she was mature seeming

They were almost a trope

They were so close


When they finally leave the room

Her face sinks and her expression grows cold

He stays warm, he always seems so kind

This pattern seemed so old

It almost bores her, but he doesn't.
