Melina KB - Force of Nature

Fiery red curls
Hell upon earth
Karma scheming, tarot reading, type of it-girl
Feminine gaze
Evergreen lace
Her heels cut through pavement like it’s papier-mâché

She takes a seat next to me
Guess my grades are history
Studying the way she signs
Her name in calligraphy
Perfume smells like apple spice
Bergamot, jealousy

Hate the boys she dates
Makes my stomach ache
She’s a force of nature no one can tame
Shake the magic eight
I am not afraid
Of a force of nature, her dangerous ways
I’d fall into her embrace

She says “Girl’s night at mine”
“Come around nine”
“I can steal us bottles of the fanciest wines”
While they all snooze
We play dare without truth
Wrapped up in her sleeping bag like that’s what friends do
Siren eyes, tempting mine
Run acrylics up my thigh
Is there romance in the cards?
Fortune teller, tell me why
I can’t stand to be apart
From her for a single night?

Hate the boys she dates
Makes my stomach ache
She’s a force of nature no one can tame
Shake the magic eight
I am not afraid
Of a force of nature, her dangerous ways
I fall into her

Hands in the backseat
My fogged-up jeep
Past curfew sneakin’ out to
Leave my fear at home
Cause every bone in my body
Hopes that you want me

Hate the boys she dates
Makes my stomach ache
It’s not in my nature to walk away
Shake the magic eight
I am not afraid
Of a force of nature
I can replace the boys she dates
They make my stomach ache
She’s a force of nature no one can tame
Shake the magic eight
Swear I’m not afraid
Of a force of nature, until she breathes “Hey”
“I’ve toyed with fate”
“I’ve strung up hearts”
“Cut loose the stars”
“So you’ll believe”
“You’re the force that's driving me”
