Description
I stand on the cornerWaiting for him
Always waiting.
I have poured myself into a mold
It is uncomfortable
It pinches and squeezes
Wont let me breathe
But that is okay
I quietly tell myself.
This is what he wants.
Iām sure of it.
And then I see him
Walking along the busy street
As he passes his eyes rake over my body
Like hot coals
Searing my skin
Melting me
Like cotton candy
Caught in a rainstorm
Turning me into a pink, sticky puddle.
Then he turns away.
Walks away.
He is always walking away.
Because I am like all the rest,
A stranger to my skin.
So I stand there
Gasping
Grasping
Trying to figure out
How my perfect plan
Went so wrong.

Hmm... trying to please someone else, other than yourself, never works. Its unnatural.
