I wrote the poem three steps ahead to give to a boy, so this poem recalls his reaction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the bus you smile,
your teeth drive me wild.
The next day, you laugh at me,
to show off to your buddies.
I'm crushed inside,
to no one can I confide, anymore.
I ignore you for the rest of the day,
but my heart feels like clay.
I can't handle all of this deception,
All I need is your protection.
But you're the one who's breaking me down.
And you're the water in which I drown,
And you're the fire that lights my night sky,
And you're the tornado that rips up my heart,
But boy, you're the hurricane who broke us apart.
I tell you what I think that you need to hear,
And I'll tell you that my pain is true and shear,
but you make still make fun of me,
But, babe can't you see,
That I can't handle this deception anymore,
Because from the deepest part of my heart you tore.
But you're breaking me down,
And you're the water in which I drown,
And you're the fire that lights up my night sky,
And you're the tornado that rips up my heart,
But boy, you're the hurricane who broke us apart.
