Febuary Night. Poem by julie ickes

People stare as I walk down the halls.
Everyone knows how I fell in love.
It was a Febuary night as snow began to fall.
You next me I finally felt no doubt.
Six months of friendship that turned to trust.
As we sat together I felt love.
Our lips brushed and I grew hungry for your touch.
I pushed away It was to good to be true.
Two weeks passed and nothing changed I was ready for your love.
Except what you expected was nothing like me.
You said if I loved you i'd do it for you.
So I let two sets of hands wonder all over me.
I proved myself in the best way I could.
Word traveled fast and it was the last.
Three weeks had past.
A baby to be was growing inside me.
I built courage and faced the facts.
Told you the truth and now its my turn to not expect.
You asked for an abortion with out a pause and said if I kept it there would be test.
Seventeen and ashamed I let two boys have there way.
Thoughts danced in my head through the night.
I loved him enough to destroy this innocent baby.
I awoke with a blood smeared blanket clutching my stomache I screamed out in pain.
The doctor said it was a miscarriage.
I spoke the words to the boy who stole my heart to only hear he never cared.
People stare as I walk down the halls
Everyone knew how I fell in love.
