Hiding

I stare into the mirror as the make-up slowly comes off . And the girl 
that stays in hiding all day comes out . The girl with blackened eyes from crying 
all night . The one that cuts her wrist just to watch the blood slowly drip down and 
form a pool . She does this every night to reassure herself she still has control 
over her own life . She stays up thinking of you . You’re the last thing on her mind 
before she goes to bed every night . She falls asleep holding on to every last 
memory you share . All along knowing you;ve forgotten every single one . 
	I fall asleep hiding her in the back of my mind . All night long 
dreaming of old times and how I used to get the butterflies in my tummy just by 
seeing your smile . Then realizing it was all just a dream , I wake up , go to the 
mirror and see that girl again . I start throwing things at the mirror , hoping to 
make her go away . I punch the mirror praying she’ll disappear . The mirror 
shatters and shreds my knuckles . Leaving a blood covered mess across my 
bedroom floor . So I get up leaving the mess behind wishing it would take the 
memories with it . 
	In the bathroom putting the make-up back on hiding the girl with the 
blackened eyes and cut up wrists . Getting ready to go through another day of 
walking around the halls seeing you and her together . The way we used to be . 
Back when things were good and life was good and everything made sense . 
Back when that girl that stays in hiding didn’t even exist . Then he comes up, 
wraps his arms around me, kisses me and stares into my eyes . I stare right 
back into his eyes all along wishing I was staring into your s. but all along 
realizing I never will again . So I go back home , start taking the make-up off 
again, bringing out that girl from her hiding place .

Suicide Note

you were the only one that kept me from killing my self , the only reason I even 
stayed here in hell . in the end you’re the reason I sit here in the dark writing this 
poem with the cold gun laying in reach . as soon as I am done saying these last 
few things I need to say . I’ll pick it up, say I love you one last time though you 
wont hear it and pull the trigger . finally saying goodbye to this world . I’ll leave you 
knowing that I loved you with all my heart, body and soul . don’t worry though, you 
released me . I wont feel any more pain . the only pain I’ll feel wont last too long . 
not nearly as long as the pain that I would feel if I was to stay alive . they say the 
greatest pain of all is a broken heart . guess I wont have to find out for too 
long .so this is my goodbye ….

Wishing Hoping Praying

Running towards what I 
have been trying to avoid.
Teling myself the truth
turned out to be all lies.
Wishing Hoping Praying
that everthing would work out.
You said those things last night.
You kept repeating every word,
although I already knew.
I know that I have hurt you, 
that I'm not what you want.
Wishing Hoping Praying
that I can run
and lose the old me. 
Then would you hold your arms 
open when I came home?
If not, then I can run even more.
I will do anything to earn
your love back.
Wishing Hoping Praying
to be the one you want.

Saying Goodbye

The rain coming down
goose bumps rising on our arms.
You gaze into my eyes
for the last time tonight.
With no where to go, 
I kiss you one final time
whisper I love you, then turn to leave.
I take a few steps,
turn back to see you again.
I call out your name to turn you around.
With tears streaming down your face
you slowly turn back to me.
I can't hold myself back
I run into your arms begging
you not to leave me.
You promise you'll never leave.
So we say goodbye 
this one last time.
and take our parting ways.
