This One Fits Just RightA Poem by Jessica Elaine Stevens [Faiteach]
i need to get together
all those guitar-strumming love-you humming boys who put their hats on the streets and play for favors because the quickest way to a girl's heart is a sad, sweet voice and an acoustic guitar and i haven't seen mine in weeks if you help me find it, i just might let you keep it i've noticed when i do good deeds my teeth get brighter but i'm so addicted to my vices i'll just have to smile wider cause i need the smoke to keep me calm i need the caffeine to keep me awake i need the liquor to put me to sleep restless, i am a knee-bouncing fiend i want to tear the world apart in the grip of pearly incisors your skin would taste so fine but you're so far away you say you'll be around to see me but the bus takes far too long it seems now as if i were dreaming that weekend, all the pictures posed models of people i ought to know memories of you tugged on at the edges of by anxious, gnawing teeth by those misplaced -anxieties my hair curls because my fingers twirl ceaselessly goldilocks- not me, is me i feel newer somehow the aches and pains of my past smoothed away i am growing younger the wisdom of a child i see the world is full of wrong but you seem full of right and i guess i'm scared- we've only shared a few precious nights short, brief and slight i fear they will be swallowed up by the ugly things outside -and as i kissed you good-bye i was horrified to find you had taken my heart away with you you thief, you fiend ...i guess it's something i can let you keep
