...

got called up to a gathering that Saturday night
changed and out in under five minutes
the ringing of the car was near
i seated myself perfectly beside my best friend
and who knew
he showed up
and my tongue was tied
leaving all the breath our of my heart
clinging to one resolution
ignored him for the rest of the night
it was cruel
not for him but me
i wished we could have talked
shared a laugh or two
but i could never bring myself to do that
no courage could come to me
and i wished we could be friends
casual friends
worked out small talks
but the bell of Cinderella rang
before i could venture on anything
anything it was
nothing
and we left
