This actually happened. To me. Except for the kissing, that’s the “fiction” part of the exercise.  R&R!

---------------------

What possessed me to run away?

It was a just a church trip to a beach town.

I felt like a fool, but does any of that matter now?

No way.

It was the necklace that got me.

Here we are, praying and singing

And I’m wearing a necklace I stole

Great.

I’m no hypocrite, so I ran away.

Just down to the beach

I yanked it off my neck and threw it to the water.

Prayed.

It felt right just then but I wish I hadn’t done it

My youth pastor hollered at me

And all the boys laughed

But him.

He told me later that he thought I was brave,

I told him that was bull

And he smiled and told me off soft and

We Kissed

I went home the next day

And we had to push our car

But other’n that it was

Good.

What possessed me to want to stay?

It was only a church trip.

I think it was the kissing that got me.

End.

Cute, eh? 
