Silent Screams

Poem 3

I wanted to know him
But they told me not to try
He would just leave me
He did that to her
But he seemed fine
My perception was theirs
And they knew it
I should not wonder about the boy
Who left her when she needed him
But
I should not be told
That I could not be his friend
But I was a coward
So I did as they said
I watched as they teased him
And he didn't care
But at night I thought
How sad he must be
If the girl he once appreciated
Was now bitter and vile
Cold and numb
From his actions
But what could he do
For he was only the boy
Who messed up everything they had
And to say it was a relationship
Would be out of hand
But to say they were just friends
Wouldn't be quite right
So I watched him from a far
And studied her up close
For there never was a thing
As changing from me
To someone they would appreciate
So I wondered for a year
And I finally got a smile
But I didn't return it
Because I had turned vile
