 our little secret 
 
 our little secret.
 once, twice, thrice.
 
 i think dirty thoughts that no girl my age should.
 
 again, again, and again.
 
 my pretty face, my delicate brain
 
 soiled and spoiled with the thoughts of an evil incarnate.
 
 thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven
 
 i think it so much, that it doesn't seem so unusual.
 
 not a stranger, but a friend
 
 a friend i've never met.
 
 one hundred, one thousand, one million.
 
 lost count a long time ago.
 
 perhaps i was waiting for that magic number.
 
 perhaps it was a countdown.
 
 once, twice, thrice.
 
 i did it once and i'll do it again.
 
 show, not tell.
 
 thoughts into action.
 
 thoughts into marks.
 
 our little secret.
  
            
               
 It's enough to live a live with love until we dieAutism, Depression, Anxiety

I really enjoyed reading this. I thought the pace was really good and the counting was really effective.

Well done, I liked the repetitive counting.
 Feel free to come back and share more of your writing.

This was really good, especially the numbers and then losing count. Thank you for sharing. Hope you are doing okay   |
