SCRIPTUM | A Short Story Collection

Opposites Attract

All my friends asked if I was blind

How I didn't see the signs

And they don't even know of the smile you made

When you told me the truth

Texting after school

Playing computer games

I thought we were good

But then it got complicated

I got sick of limbo

I begged for her to ask you

So really, it's all my fault

That it went downhill

You say no relationships

But that's not how you act

One foot in, one foot out

How do you expect me to know?

There's no fault in our stars

Yet there's a pain in my heart

And all signs

Point to you

When they say opposites attract

They never tell you

How much it hurts
