empty

pouring my heart out-
word by fragile word
floods out my pen
onto lined notebook paper
like an ocean wave hitting the shore
a love letter…

shot down

brushed off like it was nothing
no confession
no real emotion
just a silly note
from a silly girl
feeling anonymous

feeling alone

no, I cannot be friends
“just friends”
after this

not possible

my heart beats too fast when I see your face
my mind imagines future days with you
smiling and talking and loving me….

not possible
