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
