There once was a boy
He was weird and even a bit of a nerd
She was ignored
But when she was with him she was actually heard

There once was a boy
They became best friends
They talked all the time
And promised to be together till the end

There once was a boy
Together they stayed
Through every lie and rumor
Not once did he even think of going away

There once was a boy
Who had a secret
He loved a girl
He wanted to give her his heart but he didn't know if she would keep it

There once was a boy
His best friend had a secret
She loved a boy
She wanted to give him her heart but she didn't know if he would keep it

There once was a boy
Who gave his heart to his best friend
They loved each other
And promised to be together till the end

There once was a boy
Who thought nothing would go wrong
But fate stepped in
And put an end to their love song

There once was a boy
Who on one fateful day
Was very happy
Until he found out his best friend was moving away

There once was a boy
Who left a girl who left him
She felt helpless and alone
Like she was in the ocean when she couldn't swim

There once was a boy
Who thought his best friend was fine when really her heart was on floor
She said she still loved him
He said he loved her too, just not like that, not anymore

There once was a boy
Who broke his best friend's heart
He hasn't talked to her since
And it's tearing her apart

This is actually something that happened in my life and whenever something does I write a poem about it. I hope others can relate.

I dont like this one very much. Not complex enough. I think you should pick a new carrer.
