Posted By: Traci T. on April 06, 2005 Here's another one from ya girl! I been really feelin this boy for bout seven years. Truth be told, it used to be mutual, but nobody but God knows if it still is. So I wrote him a letter clarifying how I felt and I never got a response, so I guess his silence in itself was the response. But anyway I wrote this about how I felt the whole week while I was waiting for the response. After you put your heart out on the table like that, it's easy to assume a girl would be... NERVOUS nervous, nervous hairs standing, teeth quaking hands shaking, sweat breaking the silence of dry skin trembling from within, i begin to think, fear sense, hear the voices with choices i could have made should have stayed quiet, discreet petite, with my words protecting my nerves but whose to say they were straight in the first place, i wait, debate, contemplate estimate, try to make it through one, two, maybe three days eyes haze, thoughts fade what mistake have i made to put down my frown in phrases? to spread my hurt over the pages? the rages, the pain, the sorrow, disdain insain-ity, to sustain and refrain from the notion to dog train my brain to keep him out without a doubt? to block out these thoughts that appear? as, memories flash and days pass i thought i could last til' monday that one day that felt like a year to get here, i still fear the unlocked bathroom door at night the response letter he might not write who's wrong, who's right the talk, the text, the fight where's my right to fall unconsciencous let the rachous water sooth my curves to un-nerve us as we love to do when we come unglued loose a screw and break in two? that won't do im to nervous to sleep too tired to weep, too exhausted to sink into another deep depressive seat and drown in some Kenny G. so while im nervous, nervous thursday, hairs standing friday, teeth quaking saturday, hands shaking sunday, sweat breaking the silence of dry skin trembling from within, i begin to think positive, fear nothing sense everything, hear something i lift my voice with the choice to face monday that one day that took 7 years to reach Open to suggestions!
