What's Wrong? Poem by Zubaida Boland

you looked pale
when i saw you
walking down the stairs
in high school
and your voice was faint
when you said hello to me
my friend
your eyes were red
they were puffy as well
you made me ask myself
how many tears have you dropped?
from yesterday till today
nothing changed
coz you refuse to tell me
what's wrong with you
open up your heart for me
and spell out
the things that make you
cry do badly
no. it's not okay
i won't shut up
unless you speak again
please speak
my arms are wide ipen
i'll hug you anytime
you need
well, i think you're shattered into peices
i think you've got a broken heart to fix
so i'll come to you right away
to bind the atoms of your broken soul together
for how long
will this silence remain?
coz you're breaking my heart
tell me who ruined your life
and turned it upside down
who took away your beautiful smile
i'll do my best
to retrieve it back
you're my model for being strong
so don't you cry please
i'll do anuthing to help you
coz someday i'm afraid i'd lose you
