Goodnight Doll

All the girls say he’s who everybody wants, and how that smile could light up any
space providing I was there. Leading me through those dreams with a “Goodnight Doll”
was the bullshit that I allowed myself to believe. I cannot conceive of this.
You were a fucking prick, and you destroyed me.
I think he was nice, I thought he was good to me. Turns out it only ever gave a
reason for him to play the “compromise” load on me. What a dork.
It was the last day of school, and the case proved to be now or never. I chose now,
and I asked “Do you wanna go out sometime?” So he took my number and called the
very next day. I haven’t heard from him since, but I bet his eyes are still so blue.
Got the “world” talk again. I was told not to take it. But I need this. I know that it’s
weak, but God help me I need this. Feels nice and scary, and I don’t want it. He’s not
who or what I want.
I fought for him last night. He left her and ran to me for another round and home.
We belong together. The only one I ever truly loved, and I still do.
As for you, well, I thought I was in love enough for the both of us. But you know if
your heart is empty, my mind really doesn’t matter.
Life to you is a dashing and bold adventure. The heavens are opening. Don’t be afraid
of silence...Live every moment, and embrace it.
