Ficlets

Trapped

Fallin into the trap
He don’t know how to get out
I’m holding onto his hand
But he’s slippin’
Wonder if he really minds

Ditching his friends after school
Thinks it’ll make him look cool
Called him up on the phone
His brother says he’s not home
He’ll call me up in a little while

So I wait by the phone
But he never calls back
Says he got the message
But didn’t care about it

I’m thinkin it’s all my fault
My friends aren’t helpful at all
They like to blame me too
Can’t believe that I could do
So much harm in one summer

Wish I could change everything
Go back to last year
If only he hadn’t
Come back for that day
Maybe it would be easier
To let go of his hand
So he could fall faster
