You assumed I wanted to cope with you

I said yes

I kept doing these things and wondered

how I changed 

or when 

And then there's you so open and 

willing to drown it out for one more night

or two

I kept laughing and dancing 

because that's what young girls are suppose to do

Live your years before you become wrinkly

and your dancing isn't considered sexy

I will have fun at first 

When the warmth and feelings of love overwhelm me

but as the night drags on 

so do I

Feeling my body against the cold tile

Crying myself to not even a sound slumber

We were always trying to pause our lives

even for a second

We wanted to not be intertwined with everyone else

So we slept in the woods

and watched the monsters take over the night

and our minds

I never could stop myself from twirling

and knocking down anyone who came too close
