Watching a Love Story

by Izzie Sandone

Hands against soft skin 

Fingers intertwine 

What a major win 

All the girls in a line 

Soft lips exploring places 

Car drives through moonlight 

It isn’t like my other cases 

There’s never once a fight 

High on love or drugs 

Bursting into ecstasy 

Wishing on all these ladybugs 

My heart bleeds endlessly 

Because you are not mine 

I’m watching this other girl 

As I cry blue and whine 

I wish you were my pearl
