I fell in love with a boy
on the seven twenty-seven
from Wimbledon to Harpenden.
We met there once a week -
always the same train -
and I watched with bleeding heart
as he destroyed his life before my eyes.
And one day he was gone.
He left me not knowing
whether the boy I loved had truly died.
I cried for him,
and I clung to my belief
that there was a way he could come back.
But how could I know?
No one ever told me
exactly what happened to him;
only that he was in a bad place,
and I’m afraid it was implied
that he wasn’t coming back.
So perhaps it’s better that I can still hope,
and never really know.

Well, either way, here's my response to that novel in the form of a poem, for ^lovetodeviate's first contest in honour of Poetry Writing Month: [link] (Tar, for anyone who doesn’t know, is the name of one of the central characters. Oh, oh it broke my heart, what happened to him!

To be honest, quite a lot of things happen to him and it's hard to explain exactly why it broke my heart. You need to feel it.

I hate to break this to you, but being a coward is not a legitimate career.
