We are too different to make this work. I looked at you for a long time the other night, trying to figure you out with your pale skin and graying hair. You didn't look up from your laptop and I was content to work in silence.
You've been oddly quiet since that day I let you touch me. I don't like physical contact, but that day, as your hands slid beneath the back of my shirt, you expected me to recoil. I didn't. You didn't go further, but I could tell something changed.
You look up at me from time to time as though studying a puzzle that you can't quite work ou

19 Years OldI was just nineteen years old19 Years Old by *Rifle1980
When I cut myself in two
The boy I wanted them to see
And the boy they never knew

You're always sleepyYou're awake, but just barely, your lids are drooping, your speech slurred. You're always sleepy when we talk, but I like to be up later than you. You stay awake because you like to be with me.You're always sleepy by ~StorySlices
I swallow the nagging feeling of mistrust as I scribble away at the paper on the bed in front of me. You're yawning, struggling to stay awake, and I'm lost in a world of darkness trying to find the light.
You say you don't notice, but I know it's a lie. We've had this same discussion for years now. There are glances in your direction, whispers, leers, and the occasional bold touch on your arm from strangers. Yet you claim you don't notice.
