Good Bye

dark clothes
black eyes
no one knows
why she cries

no one knows 
of her pain deep down
no one knows
what brings about her frown

you know this chick
very close indeed
for this chick you love 
and her heart you need

this one night
you couldnt help her see
she wouldnt take your hand 
when you reached out and said "come to me."

you found her lying on her back
make awful from her tears 
never knew her pain was so great
and that she'd struggled for so many fears.

but as you gently embraced
her cold,dead, limp body
your hand gently brushes agianst her face 
her sadness and pain you can still see

your eyes search for the "suicide note"
found it
and through the tears read what she wrote
"I love you babe and i promised you i'd try
but i just cant, i love you .......

.....and goodbye."

Nice poem. Sad and really full of emotion. As I know suicide is a really close to home prospect for many teenagers like me. Love dark angel.
