Say Anything

Do Anything

By Amber PaulisonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I needed every reason to believe it was okay

you invited me to your party, so sure of course you liked me

and when i got there you kept handing me drinks and telling me i "looked good" and that this "felt right"

So I took a sip and smiled back because what else was I supposed to do?

You said it yourself, it felt right.

Difference being, I meant it.

You. Fucking. Asshole.

How dare you take something so precious and so sincere and turn it into some competition between you and your “brothers.”

Quick, tally up how many times you could make the vulnerable girl fall for you.

Give yourself two points everytime she blushes - six every time she moans.

Make sure you hit every soft spot, internal and external.

Make sure you address every part of her

and when you think you’ve won, when you think you have the most points, run.

Pretend it never meant anything. Tell her you “made a mistake.”

Say anything, do anything.

And give yourself an extra five if she cries.
