parties are the end of the world.

ive been invited to a party this saturday. 

i think i will go, 

i think i will get as drunk as i can. 

to feel the painful crushing weight of the sunday hangover. 

im going to act as if i am in a french film. 

i will tell each person a different lie, 

tell them something i've made up about myself. 

these people dont know me. 

dont know me at all. 

 

but whats more likely, is that i will take a sip

and spill each little nodule of my soul and heart onto 

the threadworn rug of the student flat i'll be trapped in. 

and i'll fall in love with a boy who doesnt even look my way. 

and even in the darkened rooms of a student flat, 

he will ponder my spilled soul

and decide i could never be the one. 

not in a million parties, not even at his drunkest. 

and in my drunken state this will feel like the end of the world. 

but a song will play, and i will forget this world ending boy. 

and i'll find the girl who is collecting my noduled soul, 

and i'll kiss her on the head. 

we sat in a lecture together, picturing this moment.

I've been to plenty of these parties Nadia. You know how they'll go and that's what happens. But still you hope they may surprise you. Great write.
