I first saw you
In the cafeteria
On a Monday afternoon.
You, a jock
And me,
A wallflower.
Our eyes met
For one second..
I looked away
As the head
Cheerleader snuggles
Up to you.

From a distance,
I saw you
Be rude,
Crass, obnoxious,
And mean.
I loved you anyway.
Why?
I'll never get
Acknowledged by you,
Or see a
Different side of you.

I want to talk
To you and
Ask you some
Questions.
Are the rumors
True?
Did you rape her
And brag about it?
Did you beat her
And brag about it?
Did you drug her?

Please tell me
The truth.
I think you
Are innocent until
Proven guilty.
