It all started by sitting next to you in class
"Can I borrow a pen?" You quietly ask.
A blush on my face at your innocent eyes
I hand you the pen, my heart soars and flies.
I am silent until the end of class
Amazed at how quickly the time can pass.
You give me the pen and say, "See you tomorrow,"
The next day I'll have a new pen you can borrow.
I walk home with thoughts filled only of you
Your soft touch, your brown hair, your eyes so blue.
I lay on my bed, look up at the ceiling
I don't know if I can contain this feeling.
The following weeks, I blush and I stumble,
At every single word you say and you mumble.
You look in my eyes and you know what I feel
I melt in my seat from my secret revealed.
You shyly look the other way, the red in your cheeks,
I see your eyes twinkle, this goes on for weeks.
You talk to me and laugh with me, we have so much fun.
I think that you like me; my work here is done.
But you look the other way, to the girl I despise,
You look at her like she's some God-given prize.
You sweep back your hair and I see your eyes twinkle
She flips her hair back, lets it twirl, shows her dimple.
I see you walk home with her, hand in her hand,
The hope I have in me, all but a strand.
A strand that is breaking, the end is a tangle,
A strand that's so thin, a strand where I dangle.
The sight now before me sends my heart breaking
To you, I was giving, to me, you were taking
Taking my life, my future, my heart
The heart you now rip and you tear it apart.
With so much as a glance, you look my way
You throw back my pen, and call it a day.
So I was a tool, I get it, I know,
I hold back a tear and I turn to go.
So hold her and kiss her, yes, if you must,
I know you don't care that you've lost my trust.
You talked to me and laughed with me, we had so much fun,
I thought that you liked me, but someone else won.
It stupidly started by sitting next to you in class,
"Can I borrow a pen?" You stupidly ask.
The red in my face when you look in her eyes,
And now my heart sinks, and now my heart dies.

- Title: Can I Borrow a Pen?
- Artist: rewind r e w i n d
- Description: This is about a crush I had when I was much younger, that crushed me (ironically enough), though I told no one. And now it all comes pouring out in this terribly long poem. Apologies for the length. n_n

- I know it's hard to tell, so I don't think anyone realised, but when it says that the guy shyly looks the other way and his eyes twinkle, it's actually because he's looking at another girl from across the room. And ... yeah. (:

- WOW! I really liked it... though it may be sad but that's what life really is... it's not always good but if bad stuff happens I'm sure there's a good reason like maybe he wasn't the right guy. True love doesn't have a happy ending.
