Swingin' Party

Swingin' Party

A Poem by Cae

I'm at this swingin' party
Trying to do this nonchalantly
But I don't dance with other people
So I feel pretty deceitful
Not really being myself
I'm even wearing pastel
Instead of black clothes like usual
She said I'm beautiful
And it felt like poison in my ears
And ignited all my fears
But I was already on fire
So I just grab my lighter
And make more smoke in this room
Cause otherwise, the energy feels like doom
There's a lot of people at this party
This dude's acting pretty cocky
But he told me I should come
I guess I'm just acting pretty dumb
But at least my minds off of s**t
As long as I keep taking more sips
I'm backed in a corner
And he's close so it's warmer
But I somehow manage to get away
By saying I don't want to overstay
That girl who said nice things called out to me
But I told her that I'm nobody
And she should find someone nicer
Someone she could truly admire
She grabbed my hand and said to be a listener
I really shouldn't be so insecure
And she kissed me and I fell in
And I played her like a violin
The sun started to rise
As we looked in each other's eyes
I couldn't look away, though I wanted to
Because her eyes reminded me of you
I came here just to forget
But now it's just turned into regret
I can never truly get you off my mind
But I really tried
