good-bye.

by kelli bircket (Aries) - Not entered

in a short dress that slit up to the highest part of my thigh,
i sat on your bed.
cracked my knuckles, 
and looked down at my tall shoes.
the dream was not the reality i had hoped for.
or was it that the reality was not the dream?
i guess for the first time, 
i had brushed my bangs from my eyes and could actually see.
the lipgloss on my mouth made my frown even heavier
and i licked it off before i spoke.
for a brief moment, i wanted to run back to you.
to kiss you.
to let you hold me in your safe arms for the rest of my life.
but i didn't.
instead, i climbed out the window
and said 
good-bye.
