I met this boy once He was so very sad He needed a friend And for that I was glad He confined in me Every little secret to be told He confined in me What his heart could no longer hold He told me he liked boys And thought I would run away But I obviously shocked him When I told him I would stay I loved him for sure A companion at its best The way we loved each other Nope. It was nothing like the rest He wasn't my friend. He wasn't my best friend. No he wasn't my brother. And he was gay so no, He wasn't my lover. Together weren't different people It was one person in two bodies Together we were better No more bleeding cuts for me No more aloneness for him I told you we were better But one day he had to leave The world had scarred him too deep They called him names And asked him to die He did as they wished and told me goodbye. Next time you think of hurting someone... Just think... They may be leaving someone behind.
Umm this poem means a lot to me. Once upon a time I lost a really close friend of mine to bullying and I think it was about time to finally let go. I love you Josiah and I hope you're reading this poem somewhere
