Analysis of it hurt
Terri M Wolfenbarger 1987 (KY)
one summer day
I was just sitting there
thinking what is going on
than this boy came out of no where
he asked me to go with him !!
I asked him why?
he said that he need to
show me something
and he take me to
a cool little house
it was next to a lake so
it was like a lake house
but it was made of nothing
but glass and he
asked me to be his
one and only gal
I told him that he
was so sweet
but i need time to thank about
it
when i want to tell him that i would be his
gal he was no where to be found
his mom came out and said am sorry to
have to let you know this way
but the boy that you was talking to passed away last night in his sleep
no one knows what happened but
i run away crying and knowing that i would never see that boy anymore
