Teenager In "ℓ๏˅€"A Poem by Riley BrayWe'll see.
Seeing him for the first time,
Forcing you to do a double take As your heart skips a beat or two And a wave of delicious nausea comes, Fast approaching. The sound of his name like The perfect lyric Imagined sung by the purest white angel As it descends, And speaks with his velvet voice. Everything else turns into static white noise. As you fall asleep, His face remains imprinted on your eyelids, Stuck fast to your mind, As dreams of him trickle inside. Yearning for his hands, his lips, his words To fall into yours, And your bodies to connect in a sweaty embrace. You fantasize about a future, maybe And awaken simply to etch is features into a diary Envisioning in the sky two flawless white doves. Teenager in love. Speaking to him is By far your most commendable feat, And to see him smile is To be granted a new sun. His eyes deep and soulful, Body chiseled and created specifically for yours. Such a beautiful man, For such a humble girl. Cliche's become a conscious reality, Wanted and welcomed and revered by jealous friends. But, especially as a teenager, all good things must end. Distance and maturity Choose to stand opposing you, And you grow to realize That lust is not love And love is not an emotion Someone so inexperienced can produce. You awaken from the dream You lived in for however long And realize, that you were dead wrong, And not for the first time, you're exposed. Teenager in love. Teenager in love. So it seems Love is a lie At the age Of immaturity. It hides in infatuation And dies in the midst Of intense frustration With the other. Teenager in love. Teenager lusting. Teenager lied to. Teenagers End.
