Shame

Perfection is tiring
    she won't admit-

Perfect boyfriend
    perfect grades
        perfect game
            perfect-
                family

Does anyone know,
    little girl?

Does anyone suspect,
    little girl?

You don't know what
    he's seen,
        do you,
            little girl?

You don't know how
    he feels,
        do you,
            little girl?

You might never know;
    Would you
        regret it?
    Would you
        miss
            what you
        could have
            had?

Would you want him
    to know?

    To be his
        little girl-


~


He's not worth it

    Keep telling yourself


He doesn't want me
    He can't want me
            It isn't right

    You want him,
        don't you?

    You feel him,
        don't you?

        When you're alone-
            In the quiet-
                In your dreams...
                In his arms...
        Please, in his arms...

Does he dream of
    your kisses, too?


He doesn't want me
    He can't want me
            It isn't right

I love him


"Katy, I love you--"
    I can't listen
"Katy, I have to tell you--"
    I can't listen
"Katy--"



Can't you see
    this?


"The wrong way?"
    Please don't-
"There is no wrong way-"
    Please...
       
        there is

Author notes

This was a quick thing, but I like it. One of my favorite little fantasies at the moment. This is about half of what I'd written that day, but it's the half I think has potential. What has this to do with society? Well, you tell me. It's in there, there's a specific line that more or less gives it away, if you're looking. It's two poems, but I don't want them seperated.

I need to know if this makes any sense. Any thoughts or questions are greatly appreciated.


PS: I think "Please don't make me/cry" sounds stupid. Me thinks it would sound better going directly to the next line. Thoughts?

Also (I know I'm talking a lot guys, I'm sorry) the seventh stanza ["You might never know;" etc] bothers me a lot. This entire poem is about the spacing, and I like the way it's done. But should that first line be seperated? ie:

"
You might never know;

Would you
regret it?
Would you
miss
what you
could have
had?
"


(Pretend this is spaced like in the poem. The spaces don't work in the author notes, just like on the author page...)


Oh, I forgot how much trouble this writing thing was!

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
