No Strings Attached

Chelsey Rubin

A sign of you nearby appears
My heart skips a beat...
The sight of you takes away my tears,
Every time we meet,
The others took advantage of me,
Why couldn't they be nice?
I learned that love does not come free,
It requires sacrifice,
You too possess some ugliness,
But things I can ignore.
Frankly, you are quite a mess,
But you still have allure,
I choose you out of all the rest,
Although you hide in back,
To me you are the very best,
My lovely clearance rack.

*note: Chelsey admits that this work is a result of Algebra boredom:) Let's hear it for the arts!

** another note: Chelsey turns 17 on Sunday. Happy Birthday, Chelsey!
