I wrote this for a contest on another website but I hope you like it anyway.
No Apologies
You slipped me a note in Algebra; I should have known.
The bell rang loud and clear; Don't read it, it sang.
I ran through the open door into the hallway,
And opened the crumbled piece of scrap paper.
What I read broke me into little pieces,
Shattered in a million jagged edges that fell into a heap on the ground.
I sat on the ground and watched you walk past me,
Your head held high, so you wouldn't have to see me, and your hand connected to anothers.
I, frozen to the floor, looked at you, then the note and wept.
My tears falling onto the harsh unforgiving world.
Even though that was twelve years ago I still remember like it was yesterday,
You left me in the hallway, shattered.
My best friend walking beside you.
You never said a word to me.
Twelve years and no apologies from either of you.
