That one mistake
2004-01-23 at 5:55 p.m.
Your silence haunts me like a shadow. Your eyes pierce through me like a double-edged sword. You seek to destroy and I'm the only object in your way. You cast words to tear me down, silence me with all you have, and do everything in your power to stay away from me.
Then there are other times..
When we used to laugh, tease, and give knowing glances. We could read each other's minds and always knew what the other was going to do. You laughed and smiled at me and joked around. We'd do everything together, we were adventerous, outgoing, different, and that's how we liked it.
Then there are other times...
Why do I keep being nice to you? Why do I keep on smiling when I get a frown and a piercing glance. Why do I stick around when I know you hate me? I'm not sure either, but I don't think it's worth it.
You're ruining me, you're tearing down my reputation with false lies. You whisper as I walk by, when we used to be loud and daring.
I'm not sure I understand this all. It's so confusing. It's either hot or cold, no lukewarm.
If I could change one thing about my past, it would be that one mistake that happened between us.
That one mistake changed our lives.
