Broken Love Story

she walk home freshly fallen leaves crunch under her boots wind whistles in her ears blowing her hair across her tear stained face autumn begs for attention fresh tears fall down her face teeth clenched in frustration hands gripping her books eyes straight ahead searching her own mind for a explanation tears still falling she walks quickly, with no direction no purpose but to get away far away she hears footsteps that are not hers a hand grabs her arm turns her around its him him, the reason for the tears making their way slowly down her face the reason her heart beats a mile a minute the reason she can barely breathe the reason for everything "whats wrong? what did i do?" he asked, confused, worried she frees her arm from his grip begins to turn away "wait" he says, she pauses refusing to look into his pale blue eyes but focuses her gaze on a flying bird in the distance free bird, high bird, beautiful bird, free bird "tell me" he begs for understanding "please just tell me what's wrong" "I...." she chokes on her words "what? what did i do?" "you made me love you" secrets out heart breaks open she walks away
