Love Kills

I started talking to a guy
He was very upset and told me to give up
He tried to take his life
But I told “Never give up”

We kept talking and grew really close
He seemed perfect for me
When we talked no one else existed
But when he was upset I let him be

He told me he loved me
Then he turned his back like a loser
He said “my ex wants me back”
That’s when I knew he’d always choose her

I got really upset 
Now it’s my turn
I cried and I cut
When will guys learn

My emotions are fragile
I’ve locked most of them away
Tears roll down my cheeks as I pull the trigger
I knew this would kill me someday

Kayla,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
