A sunset combined with the colors of pink and orange.

A sour taste plunges into my mouth when I see you 

Like I’m about to throw up and exert all of our secrets. 

I glare at you with stones in my eyes 

You look back, but I’m flustered 

Pink-cheeked as if I’m a newborn baby coming out of the womb 

 

I wish you could see the way I see you 

But you don’t. 

I wish I were a blonde girl so that you could give me a chance

And now I know that is not possible 

Why do you give me mixed signals? 

 

You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high 

Red-faced and smirks, like a blush 

Oh, how they make me flush!

But, out of nowhere, your glares of arrogance poison me 

As if I’m a useless bag flying in the air 

 

I gave you so many signs. Is there anything?

I bit my nails to the quick over you

But it’s fine.  

I’ll wash away like a marker ink tattoo 

And never be the bane of your existence

About the Contributor
Maddie Lewis
Maddie Lewis, News Editor
HIIIIIIIIIIII! My name is Maddie Lewis and this is my second and final year of journalism. I am also in fact the news editor this year, SUPER exciting. I have a dachshund named Molly who happens to be my child. I even have a keychain that reads: “I love Molly”. My kryptonite is Criminal Minds. I’ve watched that show at least 3 times. I also enjoy playing Sims 4 on my playstation when I have time because my obsession comes in waves. I am a true swiftie at heart!! My favorite songs are: “My Tears Ricochet”, “Dorothea”, “I Know Places” and “Dear John”. “Folklore” is a true MASTERPIECE as Taylor poured her heart and soul into the lyrics. Thriller and Horror movies are my forté, believe you me. My favorite movie of all time is Black Swan. My goals for journalism is to have fun for my last year and create a BEAUTIFUL literary magazine.
