i kissed michael falk for one nickel

i ran away from the neighborhood boy who tried to kiss me,
the one with freckles on his face & had chocolate milk eyes

i slept with the hallway lights on
& dad was always there to tuck me in

days got longer but went by faster
& i got a little bigger but i think i'm mostly still the same

except i moved away from that neighborhood boy
his face is a little older & his eyes a little more tired but still are chocolate milk

i only sleep with the lights on sometimes
& now dad sleeps in his car

when i was younger i was scared of boys kissing me
& now that i'm older i'm scared of boys not kissing me

when i was younger i was scared of going to sleep
& now i'm scared because i still have nightmares

( i'm sorry if i'm not making much sense, i'm just tired )

    there's certain posts that just hit you, mostly because you just know that each word means something to the author, and i think that makes it even more beautiful. this is one of those posts.
