Like I Do

What would you did if the guy you liked couldn't be yours?

He steps and the light follows him,

A safe distance away from them.

She takes his arm,

And he flinches like she’s a live wire.

The candy sweetens in my mouth,

But it sticks between my teeth.

Then she glances back at me,

Yet she will never see what I can.

She looks away darkly,

I know she cannot love him like I do

A laugh slides from her lips,

In streams of cold blood.

I watch them leave,

Knowing that they can’t hide from me.

The liquid stains my clothes,

But at least he’s unassuming.
