Balance

My stomach was scratched
From Your Dog
My sides were bruised

From Being Tickled

My thighs were bruised

From Your Hips

My lips were cut open

From Your Kisses

My pelvic bone was aching

From You...

And It Was So Much Fun

There I stood in a pretty dress

Makeup done. Hair done.

And I had a beautiful smile

Plastered on my face

Heads turned as I walked by

And I wish you were there

No matter how many people

Said I looked beautiful

Only you could make me feel it

I couldn't let them know I was hurting

It wasn't done on purpose

I liked the pain

Because it was a good sort

From good experiences

So I smiled and danced

And didn't let them too close to me

I had fun

I said goodbye to some

Feeling happy

Because I was loved

Yet I Went To My Formal

Broken And Bruised

Author notes

I wrote this a couple days after formal.
I just found it again.
I made out with a guy the day before and went to my formal in weird pain
I had fun.
