Your eyes cast a spell on me,
And everything I though I knew about the world becomes lost in a troubled sea of blue.
I knew my place.
Knew where I belonged.
And it wasn't in your arms,
Even though it was the only place that I wanted to be.
And as I watched you under the Friday night lights,
I wanted to celebrate with you during the victories,
And hold your hand during the losses.
But I couldn't do either,
Because people like you don't belong with people like me.
That wasn't my place.
So instead, I remained drowning in the sea of blue.
Drawn in by your smile,
And the way you said my name.
My friends told me that you were using me.
That you sit beside me in English class with a purpose.
What kind of friends are they?
How dare they ruin my happiness?
They send out a lifeline,
But I push it away.
I prefer to stay drowning.
I sink deeper and deeper as the waves crash around me.
You listen to the things people say.
It all matters to you.
Your personal cheerleader in her blue and white
Has nothing positive to say.
The only place she leads you is to the back seat of your Mustang.
But she seems to cheer you up, so I guess she served her purpose.
She sees the way you look at me.
And wonders why you tell me things that you don't tell her.
I wonder the same thing,
As I struggle to breathe when you hug me,
And tell me that you're so lucky that I am in your life.
I gasp for air as I am sucked in by the tide,
Captivated by who you are
And what I wish we could be.
And deep down
I know that we won't ever be anything
Other than what we are now,
Which is nothing,
Because on the social scale
I am nothing.
A zero.
And zero times anything,
Regardless of it's size or strength,
Always equals zero.
Nothing.
And everything I though I knew about the world becomes lost in a troubled sea of blue.
