One-Sided Love

As he walked into the room

My eyes look towards him

Instantly

Blush spreading across

My pale face

 


Why am I acting like this?

 


He showed all the signs

Everyone said

“He definitely likes you back”

And I believed it

Just for

A second

 


I got my hopes up

Once again

 


I confronted you

By your locker

That one Tuesday

After school

I told you all my feelings

And you gave me

The sweetest grin

 


The next day you acted

As if I didn’t

Exist

 


A month past

It felt like forever

You hadn’t given me an answer

To the question

That my heart

Had been yearning for

 


I confronted you

Once again

 


You said no

 


In that moment

I felt like

A million bricks

Had been dropped

On my heart

 


You said no

 


Well now here I am

Writing a stupid poem

About how much

I like this

Stupid boy

Who doesn’t even

Like me

Back
