things unsaid
walking through the crowd
just trying to get to 2nd block
me with my shiny brown hair
and crystal green eyes
my heart is heavy
and my shoulders hang low
and through everyone i see you
with your surfer blonde hair
and baseball tanned skin
your heart is heavy
and your shoulders hang low too
we act like last night didn’t happen
we act like we don’t share the same pain
the same scars
no one would ever know that it’d be us
me with all my cheerleader and dance team friends
you being the charming baseball golden boy
and i wipe the tears from their faces when a boy breaks their heart
and you hype them up when your heart is stuck in the dark
and all the things we left unsaid
write across our faces when we make eye contact
so i go back to wiping my own tears
as you talk yourself into being okay
we both know we’ll never be the same
and we were to broken to be together
but we’re to broken to be left alone
so we self destruct all on our own
we sit in algebra
our legs bouncing
my eyes watering
your fist clenching
only thing between us is the painful silence
until you can’t take it anymore
and you call me at 2 am
“i’m sorry it just hurts so bad can you please come over”
and so i come over
and you cry and cry
a picture perfect boy
breaking in my arms
“there were so many things i wanted to tell her”
and then i start to cry
because i really miss her too
our trio turned to a duo to quickly
life taken just like that
and i think pieces of us died with her
