Boyfriend

Eyes rimmed with tears
Heart pounding fast 
“He’s here” you whisper
You hide from him
Yet you cry out for him
So scared, yet so in love
Why do you do this? 
Why do you care?

He’s here you whispered
But no more are your eyes rimmed with tears

No one can find you 
They all call your name
He’s gone now
He’s gone…

Months later you body is found
Dead in the lake 
Now your washed up on the ground
All mourn your passing 
And it all happened because he was here
