A Midbummer Night's Scream
Making my way to class, 
 When I see him, 
 I feel like an ass.
 I feel grim. 
 With just one look, 
 Someone shot me with a bow,
 And my breath he took.
 No one treats me the way he used to.
 I did not try to woo.
 “I love you,” I said,
 There was no “I love you, too”
 Now I feel dead. 
 I need words to bring him back.
 And keep me on track. 
 So stop asking if there’s someone I’m dating.
 My life
 Is what I’m hating.
 I cannot picture myself as a wife.
 As if my day couldn’t get any worse,
 Mom said my math teacher called Dad.
 And my pen ruined my new purse.
 I am so mad.
 He really didn’t want to talk.
 So I am really fast
 As I walk
 And try to forget my past.
 Instead of trying to die
 I just cry.
 I can’t stop thinking.
 I’m tossing and turning.
 I feel like I’m sinking.
 I just lost a friend.
 I am lonely.
 Is this the end?
 He really was the one and only.
 Though I take rejection well,
 I am ashamed.
 I am in Hell.
 I need to be tamed.
 I miss everything.
 What will tomorrow bring?
 I picked up the phone
 And I gave him a call.
 But I got the busy tone.
 I just wanted to hear his voice, that’s all.
 I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
 I want to run away.
 My past won’t leave me be.
 I did not have a good day.
 I am waving the white flag.
 This is bad.
 What a drag.
 Why am I going mad?
 I am a great girl.
 I am going to hurl.
 He said we needed to talk.
 I am nervous
 As I walk
 Down the hallway I wonder what happened to us.
 It’s like I’ve lost my grip.
 I’m heading towards him
 And taking a trip
 That’s going to be cold and dim.
 I still remember
 We didn’t have a chance
 Back in December
 To have our dance.
 I hope it’s going to rain
 So it washes away the pain.
 He said he liked my laugh.
 He told me my hair was cute one day
 While I still thought I sounded like some giraffe
 And my hair didn’t look right that way.
 I sought out to see his smiles.
 I would do anything
 For him even if I was thousands of miles
 Away. I loved him from the beginning.
 I loved him with my whole soul.
 I need to regain 
 Strength to get me out of this hole
 And handle the pain.
 It’s a slap in the face
 To be in my place.
 He never said “I love you” back.
 What he didn’t do is killing me.
 It’s like I’ve been whacked 
 by somebody.
 I can’t explain 
 What’s going on
 But I hope this horrible strain
 Is soon to be gone.
 It’s like I’m reading 
 some terrible book.
 Someone is beating
 Me. He took
 My heart and broke
 It. I am starting to choke.
 I love you.
 I will. Always.
 I wish you felt that way, too.
 Sullen are the days.
 We used to be great friends.
 I wish I didn’t say anything.
 I am at a dead end.
 Hopefully this will bring 
 You back.
 I am trying my best.
 I am losing track.
 Losing someone is such a pain in the chest.
 Lighting the dark
 Is no picnic in the park.
 I broke my little compact
 Two weeks ago.
 I couldn’t put the contact
 In my eye and I hurt my toe.
 My friend is secretly dating some guy.
 “Truly Madly Deeply” was my favorite song.
 But why?
 I have nobody, that’s what’s wrong.
 I am practically on my knees as I kick and shout
 “Please!”
 I can’t get out.
 To top it all off, I am failing math.
 So feel my wrath.
