I saw you between the glass.
The glass that was created,
A hopeful tactic to separate my dreams from
reality.
You sit next to a former lover.
I imagine my small wrists being carried
in your massive hands.
Your eyes are a ceremonial sea.
Without your words, I will only
imagine your tender voice.
I accept a dance with a top-shelf groomsman.
I keep my distance.
You watch me as my skirt catches wind,
raising an eyebrow as I giggle.
Your girl stands up with her red lips first
And she pulls you up in one fluid motion.
I follow your path near the restroom.
Rachel Berry presses her button nose to your chest.
An amiable, but naive gesture.
My thick skin would fit you better.
A brittle crutch for a great white shark,
it wouldn't last.
Not with me, quick-witted and relishing power.
An hour's up, you take the stand.
Your words echo in the crowds ears.
You take your time,
with a moments time you look down at the big bountiful curls as expected.
Little miss Lea could have been fooled.
But you want me.
Me and my imperfect chapped lips,
I watch you as I please.
A scornful look transmits over your face.
But you want me.
Her friends dressed in white giggle and play with
her hair, she "is next for matrimony."
I walk out to my tiny red Ford.
The last glass from Bordeaux tickling my throat.
She is left sobbing in a velvet lined Limo,
You run over to me and we stare at one another
once our lips part.
You are going to drown with me.
And I, with you.

I recently just graduated from Columbia College in Chicago. People keep asking me if and when I'm going to apply myself to something involving writing. I still don't have any clue. I just know that I like the way writing makes me feel.
