The boy on the bus

On the way to school

I'd always sit behind a boy on the bus,

A cute boy with brown hair and brown eyes,

And i'd watch him laugh and play with his mates,

Until we arrived at school.

Later on,

I'd still sit behind the cute boy on the bus,

And i'd watch him wear long sleves in the summer

And laugh half-hartedly,

Until we arrived at school.

Later still,

I'd sit behind the cute boy's seat on the bus,

And i'd watch him sit alone.

And i'd always go and sit beside him

And look into his empty eyes.

Then one day,

I went to sit in my usual place

When the cute boy's mates came up to me.

He'd been found dead in his bathroom,

Two cuts on each wrist,

A pill bottle in his left hand

And a letter in the other.

This letter was for the same girl

Who had watched this boy slowly fade away,

Until he lived no more.
