Bright lightsand corny rides
filled with laughter
and anxious cries
of tiny children
and frustrated sighs
of parents who can't win
the giant stuffed toy.
The Cliche Ferris wheel
known as a romantic getaway
for horny teens
and drama queens
Once night time comes
the stars loom overhead
who knew this night would give light
to such a fight
of fearless kisses
and a flow of tears
now I know what I feel
only it was too good to be real.
So as people leave this fun filled scene
all I have is an upset stomach
from too much junk
and a sickened heart
who felt too much.

Austin's lips touch mine and my eyes widen. Instantly, I feel him stiffen and pull away. I swallow, millions of thoughts going through my head as I stare at Austin. He stares back, and then glances away.
"Austin-" I start to say something, I'm not sure what but Austin cuts me off.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was a mistake."
The Ferris wheel starts moving forward and Austin and I don't say anything. I don't know what to do, what to say.
When the ride finally hits the ground, the attendant let us loose and Austin starts walking away. Instead of stopping him, instead of making him tell me why he kissed me or most importantly, telling him how I feel, I let him leave.
Slowly I follow behind him to the entrance of the carnival, unable to clearly think.
How could he just kiss me and do that?
As I walk by the canteen area, I see Austin and Carla. Austin is up against the back of the burger bus and Carla is pressing up against him.
My heart starts to sink as I witness Carla kiss him. Suddenly, as if Austin could sense that someone there, he look up and our eyes connect. Carla looks up and sees me standing there too smirking as she waves to me. Then she reaches up and kisses Austin on the lips once more.
