a young girl's unrequited love for an older boy, and her attempts to make him notice her.

  

Why don't you love me like I love you,
why can't you see me that way?
Why don't you notice the things that I do,
or hear the words that I say?

I fell for you, I tripped over your dog,
on that wonderful day in the park.
You glared at me like a snake eyes a frog,
and your stupid dog won’t bark.

Each day after that I'd cross your path,
and give my best sexy look.
I might as well have been taking a bath,
for all the notice you took.

I dreamed of how only me you'd see,
as I lay for hours on my bed.
But the only time you noticed me,
was when a seagull crapped on my head.

You grinned and I felt oh so small,
wished the earth would swallow me up.
Lucky you missed my second fall,
tripped over another pup.

What is it with me and animal poo
why is life so unfair?
With puppies, gulls, and feeling blue,
and bird sh*t in my hair.

I tried to be more mature,
and wore my mum's high heels.
But tottered and fell in some horse manure,
you were alerted by my squeals.

You hurried alarmed, I lay as though dead,
with slime on my face, hands and skirt.
You lifted me up and patted my head,
as I wiped my face on your shirt.

"Run home to mummy", is all you could say,
like I was some immature kid.
I'm eight, but look ten and that's ok,
'cos I keep my true age well hid.

I trudged home embarrassed, as usually I do,
with my dignity left in the dirt.
I broke mum's stiletto through my love for you,
but you broke my heart and I'm hurt.

So why don't you love me, why act so cool,
Maybe you, you think I'm too young.
maybe ‘cos you're at the big boys school,
and I'm always covered in dung
