You walk into your small, one bedroom apartment, and drop your keys on the floor.
~I can't say no to you~
You peel of your thin tank top and slip out of your jeans.
~Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand~
Mascara is running down your cheeks and your face is all red from crying.
~I can't say no to you~
You make contact with your oversized bed and bury your face deep into the pillow.
~Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly~
You close your eyes tightly, replaying the lousy day over and over in your head.
~Now I can't let go of this dream~
Even though you don't want to, you can't get your mind off of everything that you did wrong today.
~I can't breathe but I feel~
But dispite yourself you can't help but smile at everything that "he" did right.
~Good enough~
Normaly after a day like this you would have headed straight for your one vice.
~I feel good enough for you~
But you just don't have the energy to make everything "all right" today.
~Drink up sweet decadence~
A week later, you're back where you started.
~I can't say no to you~
But this time you find your self on the bathroom floor.
~And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind~
You've got to many things running through you mind but all you can think of is how you just want everything out of you.
~I can't say no to you~
For all your problems to go away, so you can feel like you used to again. When everything was good.
~Shouldn't let you conquer me completely~
You must have cried every night this week, and you hate how you are.
~Now I can't let go of this dream~
All you can say is that it's your fault, but something keeps you hanging on.
~Can't believe that I feel~
Something in the back of your head forces you away from all the dangerous places you used to go in your mind.
~Good enough~
It must be "him",
~I feel good enough~
And how "he" sets you right after such a long time.
~It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good~
And in your own odd way, this thought makes you happy, and you just have to smile through your tears.
~And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall~
It's been a month since you've layed on the bathroom floor, crying so hard.
~Pour real life down on me~
And you finialy feel good about where you are, and what you have become.
~'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough~
You've come to realise,
~Am I good enough for you to love me too~
That you are good enough, to have love too.
~So take care what you ask of me~
You're out of the bottom of the barel,
~'Cause I can't say no~
And you can only pray you'll stay that way.
Author notes
Okay, the song lyrics that I used with this story is Evanescences song Good Enough, and I love that song to pieces. It's my song through and through, and the topic I used up top was the one where someone suffers and recovers from a depression. It could also be put under teenage drama too I guess.
Well, I'm sorry if things are spelled wrong but I have posibly the worst computer in the world and it doesn't have spell check so, sorry!!
Hope you enjoyed the story/song.

neat technique
I really like the writing technique you used with this story. It kept my attention and forced me to figure out what was going on, so great job with it. I didn't notice anything major spelling errors or anything that leapt out at me or anything. Excellent job! -
Well, it's a good piece of work but there is one iffy thing: you were 450 words under the minimum word limit which decreases your chances a lot for placing.
I didn't see any spelling/grammar mistakes from reading it so that's good.

I really love that song, and yes you do have spelling errors. HOW DARE YOU! You're such a failure at life... or not.
Anyways, good job.
