Poem
Staring down at the pavement beneath my feet, 
shoelace has loosen from the knot on my left shoe; 
draping close to my ankle, as it pauses on the floor. 
Gritty, re-cemented road, older than the school that is the pathway to and from it. 
My ass just sits on the sidewalk, my back hunched over and my head facing down; 
for my eyes are in no mood to view the sky.

"..it's...it's just..."

I hear her voice play over inside my mind, 
hoping my thoughts will not form visions to the sounds.

"...it's just not working."

...but I hope for too much.

I close my eyes and I see her in the hallway opening her locker, 
trying to cover her face from mine.

"We're just both different, I mean...I can't understand what we are about anymore you know?"

I just stare at her blankly...
trying hard to be stupid to not understand a single word that is coming out of her mouth;
it's easy to dumb down your mind depending on what type of person you are,
but the heart was never a good participant in that category.

"I mean I thought I liked you-" 
she closes her red locker with the decorated stickers of flowers I gave her last year; 
not plain flat stickers, but the ones that are three dimensional and fuzzy, 
some are even scented. These are not scented though...those cost too much.
I just watch her talk, I just watch her talk, just watch her talk, talk and talk.
The beats of my heart seem to be losing the steady rhythm it had when I first saw her today.
The rhythm of excitement and happiness that was blended together, 
is now falling apart and turning into indescribable anguish. 

I really want her to stop moving her mouth, I stopped listening after " I thought I liked
you."

"I'm sorry Jack...but it's over...we have to break up, we're not in sync anymore...
you understand...right?"

It felt as if I was made of a unmovable material, 
cause my body felt such a force of heaviness once it dawned upon me 
what just happened here. My arm slowly raised with my hand, 
holding the drawing I drew today in art class. She stood there for a moment 
trying to review what is was 'till I shoved it into her frame.

"Here." I said

"Your such a waste of time." 

And I walked away from the place I used to walk her to everyday, for the past 425day.
I walked away from the place when I first saw her dropped her pencil and I picked it up
for her,
and she smiled delinquently for it, for she felt it was a such a kind act.
I walked away from the girl that I gave my heart to for 431days out of those 425.
