Taylor Jan 2018
She looks around, lost again
Wondering in her thoughts.
Then she writes with her trusty pen
And feels her stomach knot.
She sees the boy she’s crushing on
But knows he’ll never feel the same,
Cause boys like him are always drawn
To girls who’ll play the game.
And she walks with her head down low,
Careful not to look up.
Fearful of what they will say
When they all see her close-up.
If only she knew what beauty she brings,
To the world she thought she knew.
Then maybe one day she would try to see things
From a new point of view.
And one night as she cried alone,
Wondering if she did something wrong ,
The boy climbed up her lonely tree
And told her “please stay strong”.
The boy saw right through her mask
And wanted to make her his
But all he could really ask,
"Was why would you do this?"
As he pointed to her hidden scars
She looked away in pain
For even all the beautiful stars
Could not blind her tears that fell like rain.
The boy grabbed her hand and said
I’ll promise you one thing,
For until the day that I am dead,
You will be my everything.

— The End —
