Things Unseen

her - cruel

I cling to your arm,

my mind spinning,

unsure if I should slap you

across the face

but your voice sends

a warm chill down my spine

as you support my weight.

Mom was going to freak

that I went outside and

not only got a guy

but a pair of eyes.

She's been waiting

for a guy to come my way,

to pull me out of my shell.

"You are cruel,"

I mutter, but I give you directions

to my door all the same.

Once inside,

my mom fawns over

you and doesn't even flinch

when you asked to see

me to my room.
