Last Night and Why I Still Care About It This Morning
You avoid the snickers and glares
As you trudge down the halls
And silently deflect the whispers and cat calls
As you labor up the stairs
They all know what happened
You feel sure
When their eyes meet yours
After all, they were there last night
When you took your final fall
That day, you had been so excited
For you had been invited
To that party by that senior boy
You knew your parents would never say yes
So you told them at Lisa's you would be spending the night
Together, you spent all day getting dressed
To look just right
Finally he picked you up
When you arrived all you saw were dancing bodies and beer kegs
He asked you if you'd like a cup
You looked for an excuse while playing with your hair
You noticed all the older kids
And realized they wished you were not there
What the hell, you thought
And grabbed the beer
Everything was better, the bad you could ignore
And he'd never been this nice before
And, you had stated to think
"He gets even nicer when I drink!"
And you're different too
You're braver, sexier, funnier
You would have tried this sooner if you knew!
Around you, the party got more wild
Grinding teens
Hard shots
And the smell of Mary Jane
Would drive anyone insane
He pulled on your hand
And pointed upstairs
You knew you shouldn't
But the beer said you could
"I mean, who cares?"
He locked the door
But he woun't try anthing, you're sure
It was just so you could be alone
...Right?
He started to tell you his secrets
And made you feel unique
But there's only one thing he seeked
He asked you if it was okay
And at first you didn't know what to say
You really didn't want to
But he was so much cooler and older
And as you took another sip
You thought it would be alright
Since it was only just one night
But you were wrong, you decide
As you attempt to hide
It wasn't just one night
For the next four years
You'll be school tramp
All because of a couple of beers
As he got high-fives and pats on the back
And called "stud"
All for getting you in the sack
You wonder
You had both done the same sin
Commited the same crime
So why is he being celebrated?
While you're doing the time?
