Hell

I remember
looking at him
through my drunken stares
as lustful thoughts of satisfaction
danced across my mind
I wanted him
and he wanted me
there was no need for teasing
or playing hard to get
So when the opportunity arose
his arms wrapped around 
my waist to bring me into
his warm strong embrace
He mumbled some toxic words
into my face as i glanced
into his eyes and slurred
"i need to sit down"
He followed behind
and as we sat there making 
small talk he seemed........
good
The one night stand turned into
phone numbers being exchanged
I would drive an hour almost everyday 
just to go visit him
day after day
week after week
and each time
when we would just lie there 
in his bed and he would hold me
in his perfect arms
i felt i belonged
i felt at home
but
then those perfect arms that made me 
feel so accepted 
soon lead me out the door
falling for a guy sucks
falling for a guy 
who doesn't feel the same about you
is 
hell.
