He was standing in the hallway with a notebook after band Had my name on the pages and in cursive on one hand His brother was in the army, his mother was never home He would walk down our street and watch my family from our porch He used to change his name every couple weeks online Always biblically important, Job to Isaac to Elijah Never spoke to me in person, always talking through a friend Who'd follow up with a warning: Don't do something you'll regret He would leave me little origami roses Blooming at our door I'd carry them like sleeping babies to my room And keep them quiet in my drawer He used to draw us naked with him kissing me in bed Wasn't used to the attention from a boy in my life then So I messaged him in panic Could you please leave me alone But all the while kept it quiet, didn't let anyone know But it escalated quickly, he would follow all my friends Taking pictures of my family scratching out their eyes in pen It came at the dinner table, sent me something like a threat I will take what I am able I will take what I can get He would leave me little origami roses Blooming at our door I carried them like sleeping babies to our school For his file in the drawer
