Short Stack

I met you at the pool one day .

You grinned ear to ear and wanted to play,

I knew you were autistic by your personality.

But something about you drown you to me.

You’re so bubbly and smart .

Im sure you’re caring with a great heart.

I made goodies bag for you and the other guy.

But btw I came back you were gone quicker than a fly .

The next morning I saw your dad.

I said what’s wrong he looked sad.

He said okay .

I said I have something for you kid .

And I gave the bag away .

Later that today I saw you at the pool .

And you said you’re that girl from yesterday ,smiled and said cool.

I looked in your shoe to get the size,I guess that’s smart .

I remembered you wanted some swim shoes so I went to Walmart.

I looked everywhere they were no swim shoes .

Get you something different or leave without.

I had to choose.

I picked a towel set,a football,water bottle and I gave you my sunscreen too.

It felt like the right thing to do .

I got back and got hit with anxiety .

Was I overstepping boundaries ,what’s happening to me ,

I talked to a lady there and see if she could relate .

She said no ,that subject was on her play .

She knew them ,so she called the father over so we could talk.

I didn’t want him to think I’m here to be weird and stalk.

I handed you the bag and you happy with it all.

The sunblock was most important today you learned .

You told your dad to put it on tomorrow so you won’t get sun burned.

I laughed and said thank you .

That smile you gave me is worth seeing if others and your father knew .

A few moments later the squat team caught my eye.

They were here about a troubled younger guy .

Anyways we all talked about you and your needs.

It just sucks you don’t get proper feeds.

Your room neighbor and I spoke about you .

The managers upstairs ,I was like fuck I didn’t know what to do .

The cops pulled over and came to your door .

I was frightened,I didn’t know what’s enstore.

Your neighbor told me what happened and I freaked out.

I was scared and anxious idk what that was about .

I felt like it was my fault they’re there .

Everyone was talking ,

But they didn’t care like I care.

My cheeks were hot and I wanted to cry .

What if I can see you again Short Stack,what if I can’t say goodbye.

I called my cousin and she told me what to do .

She said I know you’re scared but think this through.

She said he’ll be somewhere better ,let them do what they have to do.

I talked the with the hot guy ,clown tattoos .

But for them to be so scary of him,whwehhhh 😅

Alright that’s enough info for you kid ,back to you.

My childhood flashed in front of my eyes.

When everyone left tears came down and all I did was have silent cries.

But as I spoke to him it stopped .

And his conversation made me realize .

I’m sitting here all night having a heart attack.

I hope wherever you go,they take care of you & you have a great life short stack .
