poetry

sapphic

i thought life would be so simple
i would meet a boy my age
i would love him he would love me
everything would be okay

one day i walked into class
and went to find my seat
i saw that i was sat beside
such beauty i had never seen

angry, weird and clumsy
eyes bloodshot but pure blue
hair a shock of dyed-black
not looking up, but i knew

i brushed off the feeling
as quickly as i could
but it didn't go away despite
how much i wished it would

i thought life would be so simple
but i met a girl my age
i loved her and she loved me
everything was not okay.
