"Love Sick, Kyle Greely"

Anderson

I remembered the day, in1988

That I went rushing down the school street

That just so happened to be the bizarre first day

I met the boy known as Kyle Greely

He was battered and abandoned on the walkway

On his first day at our middle school

All of my friends knew it was none other than Jay

Kyle must have not learned his stupid rules

Hoisting him up, I attempted to brush him off

And I started to remember then

How Jay ganged up on me and threw me in a trough

Because he thought I didn't have friends

I told him "it's alright" and pulled him from the fence.

"You can come hang with me and Suzann

Kyle

I remembered when Anderson introduced me

Her feet glistening in the pink sand

On a serene summer's day on Maple's Street beach

Is when I formally met Suzann

She reminded me of one of those old love poems

She soon became all I thought about

When I was all alone, her face kept me goin'

So I decided to ask her out

Yes, my world was still bleak and Jay still picked on us

But then Sue would take my hand and dance

And suddenly none of that would matter because

I had the sweetest love in Suzann

I told her "I love you no matter what you do,

I'll love you forever my sweet Sue"

Anderson

For I warned Kyle that Sue had a dreaded past,

even though, she played a girl so sweet

I predicted that her love and care would not last

But he was thrown by her kind deceit

Plunging into her universe with open arms

Negative talks he did not permit

He'd suffer the consequences, risking the harm

I brushed it off, not thinking much of it

Words are only words when someone is falling fast

I'd quote, he was a name on a long list

Believe that whenever I saw him, I'd harass

But Kyle would ignore and just throw a fit

Kyle didn't listen, so I let them go with it,

As bad feelings formed in my stomach's pit.

Kyle

Sue knew every detail about me

From my favorite joke, to what I feared most
