Meaningless words written on paper and notebooks, <br />On bathroom stalls and best friend's hands <br />Pictures taken at the photo store, <br />The smiling faces and gleaming eyes… <br /> <br />Hopeless dreams at nighttime, <br />Shallow visions in the day, <br />Thoughts of an imaginary future flood the mind… <br /> <br />Only to have the paper thrown out <br />And the names on the notebook covered, <br />Crossed out in the stalls and washed from the hands… <br /> <br />Pictures put in a box and shoved away <br />Into some forgotten place… <br /> <br />Dreams, visions, and thoughts repeated <br />With someone else's face <br />As the cycle re-starts…<br /><br />Deana Rode<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1997-crush/
