She Sits On The Sidewalk Poem by Jenna Dandurand

she sits on the sidewalk,
crying her eyes out.
rejected by the only one,
forbidden love.
she covers her face
with thick red hair,
ashamed of the nothing
she sees there.
afraid to see what
actually exists,
she can't accept
the world as it is.
she thinks she's not worth
the love that she met,
and so she sits on
the sidewalk,
lonely and spent.
she doesn't understand.
he loves her too.
he's forbidden to love her,
and so he pushed her away,
denying his truth,
his soulmate.
she sits on the sidewalk,
preparing to jump.
she feels an arm on her
shoulder, and looks up.
the face of her beloved,
smiling at her.
forbidden love ignored,
they hide away in
the sunset.
she sits on the sidewalk,
fantasizing what could never be.
she jumps off,
and away she goes,
gone away from her
love, forever lost.
she's gone for good,
not seeing her worth,
and he won't be far behind.
