Games I Never Wanted To Play

Xalvazora

Minding my own,
Expecting no-one to come
And play.

Suddenly,
A tall boy approaches,
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
Afraid of him,
Not wanting him,
I said yes.

I don't like him,
And I'm scared of him.
All because of someone at home.

Boys are scary,
I'm scared of males -
They're like storm clouds
With speakers.

Over time,
My boyfriend wants to
Play hide and seek under the sheets.
Who does he think he is?

I'm scared -
Of the thought,
And action of it.
My mind felt it was playing chess -
I don't know how to play,
So I'm stuck on the first move.

I'm too young for hide and seek,
But he doesn't care.
I play "keep-away" with the minutes,
Keeping the scary boy at bay.

It worked,
Until he left.
They're like storm clouds
With speakers.
