The Boy
June 7, 2015
walking into the barren land,
we stood hand in hand.
his palms soft and moist,
I got the chills.
it seemed as if the world was a blur,
but he was clear.
the only thing I ever wanted,
the only thing I ever needed,
was right there by my side.
then the girl,
the enemy,
my friend.
standing, staring, snaring,
drooling, dreaming, dreaded.
the war was lost.
the line was drawn,
no more steps were taken.
alone,
isolated,
in desolation.
love is a trap.
