Nothing: Always want the ones we can’t have

I cried for you
Like Alice did when she grew
Cried curled up in a ball
The foetal position
Brandy in my ears
My mother nowhere to be found

Music my only sound

Muffling my choked tears
Trying to desperately to make sure no-one
hears.

The next day
You beamed at me
I smiled at you
If only you could see
And fall for me too
