When will this pretending ever end?

April ninth

was the day I met you

We were walking at the sidewalk

and I accidentally bumped into you.

My coffee spilt and I said sorry about a million times

but you were fuming.


May third

Was the day I was called in class

and I didn't have anything to say

you laughed all along with them

with you head thrown back while clutching your stomach.


It was the day I had to eat alone in the cubicle

as I cry of embarassment.


May fifth

was the day I swore I'd never look or talk to you again

because you were one of those jocks

who hit cheerleaders on their ass while winking at them.


May thirteenth

was the day I decided to run away

just for one night

I needed a break

because my dad had pushed my mom once again


It was the day I swore I'd never get to close to any boy in my life.

It was the day I hated my mother for being so weak.

It was night I had to cry myself to sleep.

It was the night I used a blade and let the sadness creep.


May thirtieth

Everyone around school was asking where I was

They'd see me in some coffee shop

or smoking a joint.

I was throwing my life away

but who cares?


June twenty-eighth 

It was the I came to school

You went to my locker

asking me your stupid questions

about my stupid life

and my stupid problems.

It was the day I called everything stupid

even you.


July twenty-third

It was the day I sat by the bleachers

reflecting on my life and how shitty it was.

You sat beside me 

not saying anything

but just being there.


September fifteenth 

It was the day we sat by a tree

You legs encasing me.

My back against your chest

and you were my safety vest.


October  fourth

It was the day back in reality.

As I sat on the corner

wearing my white straight jacket.


Doctor said to never forget to take my meds

Doctor said that I have to close my eyes

and see the fine line between imagination and reality.


To see myself standing in the fine line looking side by side 

the difference of real and not real.


But you are real.

My doctor would shake her head at me 

trying to tell me to close my eyes and try again.


Now I see, 

I see that you aren't real.

Too bad I'd have to wait til' April ninth to see you again.
