Deflection

If only you knew the pressure of passion pressure of pain that you put me through You would take that hidden love and pull it through the sky If I could figure out the trauma we disguise I would take it from up above and place them in your eyes Forever staying in stone the look of demise Written in 1995 after high school crush broke my heart MC

I hope you are not in the same situation, i doubt it that you are... I could see your talent from all those years ago..

You know what high school was like. Relationships and waiting for 16yrs old to be able to drive. Looking back at it all over again I remember this feeling that I got from this girl and to be able to look back on the poem was fascinating to me. I can still feel it! I’m glad that I kept all of those all these years.
