Blood is red

Bruises are blue

I never knew i meant nothing to you

I never heard it in the way you talked

But I should have seen it in the way you walked

The way you walked was different

you see,

the way you walked was away from me

Not in your eyes, but in your heart

Like I was a target, you shot me with a dart

All this time

You didn't make any for me

All this light, it was so bright

And somehow you didn't see me?

But blood is red

Bruises are blue

Now i know I meant nothing to you


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem when my best friend since kindergarten left me for a boy. I was very hurt, very sad about the whole situation. I didn't know how to function without her. But now its OK. I see that she's happy and thats all i ever wanted for her, even if it doesn't include me.
