I ran from my class to my locker.
I ran from my locker to the bus stop.
I ran from the bus stop to the football field.

And there you were.
Number 64.
I don't even understand the game.
But I went because I promised you.

You left me sitting for an hour.
One whole 60 minute period.
Plus the time that I was actually at the game.
That adds another 40 minutes.
So 100 minutes I waited for you.

You went in the school to change.
And never came back out.

I ran from the school to my house.
And I cried.
This is the umpteenth time you've done this
I'm done

I'm tired of crying
Tired of feeling like I'm dying.
Tired of being left on the sidewalk.

What happened to family?
What happened to sticking together?
Where did you go?
Why didn't you let me know?
Why didn't you talk to me?
