Ignored&&Rejected
By: Sarah

I’ve always tried to fit in
Trying to be friends with everyone 
But 2 guys start to be my friends
Then blow me off in 2 weeks

The first guy lead me on from the start
From his texts….constantly flirting……
To his eyes……smoldering green and mixed with golden brown
To his personality…and his laughing, carefree spirit
And bam!! Drops me like a bomb.
Haven’t heard from him since…
And I try to hold on to something
But it was never there

The second guy wasn’t so bad
He flirted
Didn’t ignore me at all…
Like me….sorta
And the same thing except its falling
Into the deadly pattern as the first

Why do they do this I ask?!
I want to know the reason why!!

These thoughts race in my head
Day after day
Without ever stopping
Like an endless Farris wheel

Did I do something wrong?
Don’t you like me?
Did I push you away?

The real question is:

Why, Grant?
Why, Devyn?
    Why?……
