“Hope is the bridge

between despair and joy.”

A quote so true especially

about a certain boy.

—————————

Stop being smart,

that’s too attractive—

Stop having a heart,

I don’t think my heart can take it.

Stop smiling and joking,

you’re literally so fine—

Stop grinning and talking

with that smooth, deep voice

of yours.

Stop the humor,

I’ve already fallen.

Stop the rumors,

I can’t handle

hearing you’re

with her

and I like a guy

who might have a girlfriend.

now why might that be?

Why might someone

as dumb and loud

or quiet and smart

as me

fall for someone

who doesn’t have a heart

to give anyone else?

Cause he’s smart,

he’s a gentleman

(even if he pretends not to be)

whoo, boy, it seems

his number one fan is me—

He’s funny

and his smile is bright.

It doesn’t even matter

that he plays football,

or that he’s tall

(Though, that is a bonus!)

It’s really he’s smart

and respects all the teachers,

he’s going to break my heart.

I want to scream

“Stop looking at me,

I can’t handle that gaze

with the fire set free.”

Because, guess what,

his eyes were on me.

And they kept up

until I myself looked away.

I wish I didn’t.

But my crush,

this stupid little crush,

will not live to see the day—

where I didn’t look away.

*I technically have two crushes rn but they are like complete opposites, soooo…

also this guy from this poem, he got into a lot of fights last year, but like now he hasn’t gotten into any. Now he’s like insanely chill and smart and I know more about him and all that. And he keeps looking at me like confusing the ZAINS(1) out of me. Also, I haven’t seen him and the girl together since last year, and I’ve heard some rumors, but like never believe those. boys are so confusing…*

(1) ZAINS - can be anything from butterflies to bees to whatever else fits an emotion

Hope you liked my confusing poem,

XOXO,
