Teenage Drama
Afraid to face reality
That it might prove unpleasant
Scared to be cheated
And hurt by deception
Hiding in seclusion
In my own private world
Plunging into a vast sea
Of pleasurable memories
Swimming with unfolding waves
Of fiction and dreams
Shying away from the
Ambiguity of the present
Living in a handsome yesterday
For a beautiful tomorrow
But when we’re left together
And there’s just you and I
I come out of my independent sea
I extend my hand
Hungry for the warmth of yours
Craving for the soft caress
Of your eyes and smiles
And along sandy beaches
We leisurely walk side by side
The comfort of your closeness
Has no need for words
Till once again you must depart
The sun falls
The waves clash madly against
The solid wall of rock below us
You look behind
I’m gone
The outline of the cliff is bare
All to be seen a silhouette
Diving into a roaring sea
