a daring
dashing
detonating cry
a lovely
laughing
little white lie
his smile wide
relied
"Hey baby, wanna ride?"
I tell myself no
but its so cold
so I do as I'm told
I jump in
with him
and hold on to the rim
but then he stops
and hops
and nobody talks
and the only sounds
in town
are as my body hit the ground
my screams
it seems
are not heard by any means
as he hurts
and works
and rips off my shirt
so I cry
and lie
waiting for me to die
and when he leaves
I see
the only things left of me
and on this night
no fight
as I travel towards the light
so am I
alive
when i've finally said goodbye?
