I’ll Wish By Teodor 11W – First Place Winner

Those flowers you gave me

The only time you made me believe

I could be loved,

Sit in the vase in the

kitchen, black and rotten.

The shrivelled petals fell long ago,

sinking into the viscous, muddy sea

Of flies.

You're not like the next person;

Maybe we're just as misanthropic as each other.

You'll come back when you need me and I'll wish

I ran.

You're just as trapped as me;

Maybe we're made for each other.

You'll come back when you need me but I'll wish

I ran.

Still,

Your double-faced personality,

As toxic as the drink and the drugs

Poisons me from afar

and leaves my organs to fail.
