She is walking through the hallways
At her school
She sees
Her old friend
And they walk passed each other
But they do not say a word

Why is it like
She's always following me

And her friend
Is thinking
Why can't we
Just be friends again

I'm sorry

And her friend gets a text
Another guy has cheated on her
She doesn't cry

She's use to it

Then she sits down at the lunch table
Alone
And pulls out her phone

She texts her old friend
But she doesn't answer
On the other side
Her friend sees the text
But doesn't respond

She really hates April now

April starts crying
And a guy asks her what's wrong
And he sits down by her side
And asks why she's not eating

Then April sees her old friend
And it switches to her perspective
And she just looks at April
And April stops crying

And she walks on by

And the guy says
Is that your friend?

And he says
Can we hang out sometime
I could take you out to eat
We could go out to a movie
Want to?

She says
Okay
But let's take it slow
Just a date
Nothing more

He says
Sure
That's all I was asking

Then April's friend
Turns out of line
And sees them walk away
She sends her a text

She doesn't respond

She then thinks
She's just gonna get hurt again
She turns around
They're gone
She turns back in line

I can't just let her
Get hurt again
I have to do something

The line starts moving
And people cut in front of her

Then a guy asks her
What's wrong?

She says
Shut up

He says
Wow
*****

She's like
Whatever

You’re not rejection
Not from me
Or any man
Nor the reasons you assume are true

You’re not alone
Don’t make yourself that way
Wear your dress tonight
And know that I believe in you

Roller skating against the traffic
Is it safer than inviting me into your dreams?
The wind that blows through your life
Is still there waiting for you to set your sails free

Whatever effect I had
I’m just not sure, but
It’s not worth what you are
You have to believe what’s true

I wanted to drive up the road
I know you’re at the end
But water always turns without thought
I wonder if I’m flowing to you

Stepping outside to see the lightening
It’s not as safe as telling me we’re just friends
I know why you ran back inside
That’s where what you were never ends

let us share our pain
let us trade worries like charms
exchange presents of doubt and self-hate
wrapped up in individual desires
our hidden secrets
coming out
surprise
you are not alone
let us wash away our truths, our denials, our misgivings
let us start anew
let us breathe fresh air again
and roam the streets of our lives as someone
other than who or what we've known

In black ink and paper
I gave you my heart
With sharp eyes and silence
You tore me apart

In black ink and paper
I said my goodbye
With sharp eyes and silence
Your promise became a lie

Now I know
Bullet proof isn't enough
Now I know
You'll leave when things get rough

I've left my old friends
I did it for you
I've tangled loose ends
What you said was true

After all, the final letters
Of the word friend
Spell nothing more and
Nothing less
Than
End.
For him.

— The End —
