My heart skipped
a beat every time you walked
near. I didn't skip a day,
of seeing you dear. And when

I skipped my period
I thought it would be great
to have your baby. But it was
only late. After a while you skipped

calling me and answering
my texts. I sat up at night worried
what would happen next? You skipped
out on me on a date, didn't even call. Did

you know how long I had
to wait? I skipped my lunch and
dinner. I just couldn't eat. You didn't tell
me when's the next time we could

meet. I skipped my plans with
friends. Didn't want to act ok, didn't
want to pretend. I skipped going out
altogether. I was blue. Didn't know

whether I could go on without
you. Years skipped by me very fast. Years
of self-medicating on alcohol and labeled
an outcast. Tired of skipping out on

my life. Thought I'd give it one
more try. So, I skipped dessert,
lost weight and surprise! The sky was
azure. And the grass green. So, I skipped
home from work and didn't care if I was seen!
