Valentines Day

The flower that lasted an hour,
I received this Valentines Day,
The red flower warmed my heart,
But the message alone tore it apart,

He explained to his lonely life,
The few friends he ever had,
He explained to me his grades,
The low ones he never lacked,

Rejected by every girl,
Always fought with his father,
A year ago he lost his mother to cancer,
He was bullied by a girl and beaten to the floor,

All of his life he has been alone,
A shadow in the classroom,
A speck on the wall,
His lips forever zipped, nothing ever to say.

No one caught his fall,
We all stood aside when he took his life,
He sent me this flower,
This certain Valentines Day,

Simply because I was the bully,
Who brought him down each and every day,

The flower that lasted an hour,
Fell to the floor,
I broke down and cried,
His death was my entire fault,
Because I just wanted a bullies pride.
