Three Cents
I wrote this my senior year. It's to/about the girl I met online who wasn't who she said she was and made me fall in love with her and run away from home.
Do you remember?
I was sitting there on that bed,
Not mine,
In front of that huge window,
Overlooking some stores.
Remember when you told me
It would all be okay?
You told me what to do
And I listened, amazed.
I remember hearing those words.
I was numb, frozen.
I remember not thinking.
Was I breathing?
I remember going back.
I thought you were a forgotten shadow.
I thought the sun was coming.
I thought everything was scanned,
Ready to be bought.
And there I was with people around,
And suddenly I'm alone.
Just me & the sun.
I'm three cents short.
Those three pennies in my mouth,
Metal colliding with my fillings.
There's pain, so much pain.
But I dare not cry out.
My stomach churns like it's being twisted
By an unknown Force.
Druscilla isn't here anymore.
But is she?
Is she invisble or has she left?
I can't find her and I need her.
She's so strong and I'm weak.
I need Druscilla to take me in her arms and
Hold me there until I break.
Where is she?
Then I remember when she went.
You took her away.
Suddenly I feel.
A dam has broken and so has glass.
I'm stepping on shars of
Broken Glass.
Kneeling, I put the mosaic back together.
A Computer Screen.
I throw it against the wall
And it breaks again.
I sink to the floor,
As three pennies fall from my mouth.
I'm left with nothing.
And you left me,
So you can't remember.
Can you?
