You

Laughing and fingers pointed at me

A rejection in front of all

I had just asked "want to go on a date?"

You looked at me as if I had grown another head

The words slowly come out of your mouth

Like knives they stabbed me

Cutting deep and wounding my heart

You walk away laughing to yourself

I fall to my knees as I cry

Bells ring as students trample my body

And yet I still lie there not moving

Frozen tears plastered along my face

The image of you walking away, laughing

Covers my mind - I understand that you don't like me now

But it was embarrassing to be rejected in public

I asked you in private while we were working

Maybe you hadn't heard me was my first thought

Soon I realized you did but your reaction

Wounded me, you could've just said no but you looked at me

Disgust filled your face as you screamed at me

That was my fear, why did you have to make it come true

I lay there contemplating where I went wrong

All the answers lead to you

Falling for you, befriending you and confessing to you
