The boy who loved the girl


There once was a boy who knew this girl

He loved her with his whole heart

Made her his world

She backstabbed and bruised him 

But he still stayed 

The girl told the boy it was his fault

The boy felt sad 

The boy realized that love can only be bought

He thought to himself why couldn’t he go

Was it because he was attached

The real reason he would never know 

The girl never truly loved him

She liked how he made her feel

Little did she know the boys future was grim

They hadn't spoken in weeks 

She had no clue how he was doing

But that fateful day was the worst for the boy 

He had gone through some problems

He sat on his bed not knowing 

Whether to be mad sad or annoyed 

He thought to himself this really hurts

He was hurt without her

But to she he was just a blur

That night the boy bought a gun 

He had just turned 18

When got home he said aloud

Welp it’s been fun 

So he grabbed his phone and called his 
loved ones 

One last time 

Just to make sure they knew

How much he truly loved them 

He they gets to his last call 

It was the girl 

The phone rang, no answer 

He left a voice mail saying goodbye 

She ignored his call but looked at the voice mail

She stared and stared but never read 

The boy loads the gun with one bullet 

Thoughts flood his mind 

Like who will cry and I really want to die

A tear leaves his eye 

because he starts to realize 

For someone his body they’d have no choice but to find 

He puts the gun up to his head at last he’s satisfied 

He’s tied up all lose ends..

Said all his goodbyes

He closes his eyes prepared to die 

His suffering can finally end 

He pulls the trigger the gun goes BANG 

It’s over it’s done

But eventually a poor soul 

Found him lying in his blood

They cried, they weeped

They only had one question 

Why’d he do it he seemed so happy

But that has no clue about the girl

He once saw as a blessing
