Break My Heart

ada's picture

so yeah,

that's what you

think you're supposed to do,

just go up to someone

and break their heart?

 

I thought  we could be friends

(or maybe more...?)

but then,

of course

you come over

and crush

my dreams.

 

you never talk to me at school

and then I only see you

at the park

and you're always

always

with your jerk of a friend

who says stuff

that he should never say

in front of people who can't be trusted

or 

to the face

of a friend

of the person he's talking

about,

so I can't tell you how much

that meant.

 

so,

instead,

I go over to you

 

and say something stupid

 

or just plain talk too much

 

and you stare at me

 

like I'm crazy

 

or just plain ignore me

 

and I stand there

 

not knowing what else

 

to do.

 

you laugh

and talk

and cheat

and swear

and love

and hate

and make jokes

and go crazy

and run

and run 

and run

          father

                and               farther

away

 

and I

am afraid

that I

will never catch you.

Ada-

I really, really like this. It's simple. Sort of. But so relatable. The last part is definitely my favorite, but I really enjoy all of it! Seriously, it feels asthough you described a situation of mine!

Great work!
