"3rd Grade" 2nd Narrative poem inspired by Banksy

A little boy
met a little girl
Happy
Silly
Pretty
Little girl

They played on swings
They climbed trees
They drew with chalk

She taught him a cartwheel
He taught her to catch
She made him fall in love
He made her feel important

The summer before 3rd grade ended
The school year began
The backpacks were bought
The hair was done

The little boy
met the little girl
again

She only said hello
He only looked for her all day
She never showed interest in their friendship
He never forgot about her

The little boy bought flowers
In hopes that the little girl would like them

He caught her on the playground
Flowers behind his back

She didn't even smile
She didn't even stop.
He didn't even speak
He didn't even breathe.

She walked right past him
And ran to another boy.
They ran to the swings
They ran to the trees
They ran for the chalk.

She taught him what love feels like
He taught her what being loved feels like
She made his heart break
He made her heart sing care-free.
