Julie and Ben


it was a cold june morning
her breath caught in her throat
Julie watched his feet swing
just above her head
she took a few steps backwards
and ran into a wall
she tried to look away
but her eyes wouldn't budge
his lips were blue
his shirt untucked
the jeans he wore
bore stains from days befor
the teasing was just fun!
they didn't mean the words
he took it to his heart
and slowly fell apart
now hanging from the cellar beams
his body ridged and still
she cried a single tear
and chocked back a sob
the boy that was befor her
she had taken away his breath..
she had stolen away his heart..
he had loved her true and pure
but the words were not real!
they never ment to hurt!
now he was gone
their conciouse would be burnt
she grieved for him right there
and appologised to god
she wished that she was wrong
and he was brave and strong
as she fell to her knees
and covered up her eyes
she remembered that he was
but they had pushed him hard..
as she walked slowly up the stairs
she made a vow right then
to never hurt another
the way she had hurt Ben.
