I fell for a boy.


with hair long and eyes blue



And he never knew




the hold he had on me





even when I told him this truth

I fell for a boy.


who told me my god was not real



and left me questioning




what to feel

I fell for a boy.


who left me in tears



He hurt me like hell




Sobs he would never hear

I fell for a boy.


who cut his hair later that year



But I still whisper “you’re beautiful”




soft enough he cannot hear

I fell for a boy.


who has a soul



instead of a heart




but there’s a hole,







where that heart once was

I fell for a boy.


who’s my best friend



who loses my number




and f***s my female companion

I fell for a boy.


who I would give the world



but from him




I still receive scorn

I fell for a boy


who has feelings he never shows



and knows not




how much I know

I fell for a boy.


who hates poetry and deep things



and I know he doesn’t care





for that part of me

I fell for a boy.


who leaves me feeling confused



yet I have not the courage




to express to him this abuse
