she knows that she loves you, how can I tell you
all i know is that i love you.
all she knows is that she loves you.
in the dead of summer, in the heat of the summer.
resting on a grassy hill she hold her head against yours and licks away the tears.
and i watch on. i stare and stare at the screen, i stare and stare.
my jeans unbuttoned since the waist is too tight and i feel sick without a hand against my stomach.
my legs rest under me and sometimes infront.
i cannot keep still as she kisses you and i stare in pathetic voyeur.
thats all i seem to ever be.
the ugly, too ugly and too funny.
the girl who watches and never is, never does.
all my emotions are second hand, used.
i learned how to feel from the movies.
they say i learned to kiss, i learned to make love, i learned to dream
from the movies.
not me. i watch them kiss you on screen and i feel like im being kissed.
i feel like i am there with you and when i turn my head it is as if the film is all around me and im looking on and on and now im there im with you i am with you on the hill and theres a soft breeze and it smells like blood and soap and im breathing heavily because i have the cold but also because im exhilirated and yet im so alone and so sad and when the film ends i feel sick.
i feel so sick.
ive gorged myself on food and love and someone elses emotions.
feeling someone elses feelings isnt what we are supposed to do.
you'll end up owing a debt to a screen and a bag of popcorn.

I like this Nadia, so impassioned and honest of feeling. I especially liked "I've gorged myself on food and love and someone else's emotions" Great line.
