Anti-dependant

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I open my eyes from my slumber so deep It's the first time in a year I've been able to sleep I stretch out my arms as a smile forms on my face The sun slips in my window, giving me a sweet embrace Tears run down my salty cheeks But this is a good thing, a great start to my week For these tears are good, not of sorrow but joy These tears like the others, caused by a boy But I'm happy for I've realized I don't need him or the rest For when I'm alone is when I feel at my best Don't get me wrong, I know it will be hard at first But I've seen what it's like for other girls, It's worse Always concerned about a boy or a date And after the breakup, the one they loved they now hate I think that I'm better by myself all alone I've got no attachments, I don't wait by the phone Because all boys are dogs, and they're not worthwhile But I know alone I'll always be able to smile Written April 20th, 2001 © on Jan 05 2002 04:39 PM PST    0 • 12
