Best Poems Written by Madelyn James

Unwanted

One wanted my company but they vetoed,
I had happened to overhear.
My anger never torpedoed,
but nulled to make way for sorrow.
I realized it was not them that were hollow–
But it was I that caused distress,
I could not sojourn there nor here,
and everyone hesitated, failing to confess.
