Gave one last hug to happiness.
Ended the night in a muddy tuxedo.
First sunset without my Ricky.
I’m big-boned, but I’ve got a big heart.
We’re too old for show and tell.
High class with zero class.
I’m not thankful for nothin’.
My car, my rules.
Clouds rolled in as he rolled out.
Can’t let this one be love.
Raked me up just like autumn leaves.
A city girl, with eyes of clover.
A farm boy, from one county over.
Handed the note to the wrong Andy!

I’ll never go to a popular party.
Katie shivered but she wasn’t cold.
Autumn leaves brush her face.
Though I heard their car door slam!
It’s the talk of Third Period.
The forest secluded…no one around.
Maybe one more for nostalgia’s sake?
Today slid to gray.
On her phone, on her phone, always on her phone.
Got sentenced to love detention.
The class creep’s got his eyes on me.
The whispers say no, but I know I should.
The whispers say that crowd’s no good.
Mom’s got the place on lockdown.
So sweaty after gym class.
I don’t want you to Love Me Like A Brother.
I don’t want to Love You Like A Sister.
You get a B minus in necking.
Polished, buffed, shiny.
From the wrong side of the tracks on the wrong side of town.
Read me Keats, read me Yeats, read me Tupac.
Sleeveless shirt; heartless boy.
The shy poet in the back of the room.
She saw it sprayed across her locker.
I don’t got spirit.
Call the nurse ‘cause I got the chills.
Wild eyes; wild heart; wild love.
Honorable Mention won’t win me love.
He saw me sweating as I read my book report.
There’s a heart somewhere underneath that flannel.

Meet me in the next to last stall.
The food court will never be the same.
Never thought I’d date Mr. Ranch Dressing.
Full moon but the night feels so dark.
Got a thing for kickers of any kind.
They found his bike in Lost Lake.
