A Sad Memory

You look at me
I know what you're thinking
I can feel the tears streaming down my face

I don't know what to say
My lips are speechless
(No air in my lungs)

You ask me to leave
I know I'm not the one you want
I'm not your type
I have moral values

I'm motionless
Frozen in time

(He's coming)
Your boyfriend
The one you just told me about last night

He holds your hand
(I feel hatred inside)
I want to punch him in the face

I walk away
I start to feel better
I know someone's out there

Someone to love
Someone who will love me
Accept me for who I am

I smile
I know I'll be okay
The world is waiting
I think I hear a voice cry out

But perhaps it's just a whisper...

About this poem:

The back story behind this is too long to tell. Basically, I really liked a girl in tenth grade. The night before this happened, I had called her to ask her out over the phone. Right before I was about to ask, she said she had something to tell me. She said she already had a boyfriend and the reason she didn't tell me was because they didn't know if they could work things out. I was crushed, but I denied it. So the next day I arrived to school already angry. And this is what happened.
