immortal madness // l.s

Louis

Invited me

Over for

Dinner.

I said,

"Yes."

When I

Got there,

I saw how

Pretty his

Sisters were

And how

Nice his family

Looked.

But Louis

Still looked

Sad

And the scratches

Were still

There and

He still

Needed my

Help.

I ate dinner

At his house,

And his father

Asked me if

I was

Louis'

"Faggoty"

Boyfriend.

I shook

My head,

Hands in fists,

Because

That word

Should

Never

Be used,

Especially by someone

Who is using it as an

Insult.

"I am

His English

Partner,"

Is what I said instead

And he nodded,

Glaring at Louis.

I also said,

"You shouldn't

Use that word

Because it

Is vulgar

And mean."

He yelled at me,

And I cried.

Louis took me

To his room.
