What I wish you knew
I wish you knew that my actions are only out of kindness
That I can’t help but ask if you if you are okay when I see that look on your face
The look that makes me wonder who hurt you
And the one that makes me want to comfort you through your pain
I wish you knew that when you smile, I feel happy for a moment
That your genuine glee has me wishing that I could feel that too
The smile that I wish we could share
And maybe one day, we could share a laugh too
I wish that you weren’t lying to me when you said you weren’t mad at me
That you didn’t hate the fact that I apologize for breathing
The way I try and help you
And how you hate that I care
I wish that I was better
That I didn’t keep f***ing things up
The fact that I keep messing up is so incredibly frustrating
And that I was more likable
I wish you knew that I now get it
That you would rather me keep my distance
The more distance the better
And what I think you already know is this
You’ve broken me
I have shattered into millions of pieces
And I don’t think you’ll ever bother to even try to put me back together
So I wish I could say I was done with you
But I know that would be a lie
Because not caring isn’t in my nature
And although you don’t want me to
I will always care about you

So, I'm a new girl at my school and I've never had problems with making friends. Until now. This boy got upset with me for asking if he was ok and ended up having a friend tell me to stay away from him. This hurt me and so, I wrote a poem.
