Best Lossgirl Poems
what are you living for
is it that girl again
is she really that one
your only
lets get real
don't laugh it off
don't let your dreams
carry you away from
where the truth really lies
where it really hurts
don't confess your darkest
secrets to me
don't send me off into the
world unknowing and naive of its malice
the no's surrounds us
all... pulling us in... closer
tighter, tranquility and stars
skin breathes skin, pores
mere holes to the underneath
is it that girl again
why does she always show up
at the worst times
she took it from you, didn't she
stole right from you
and you let her
and you let her do it
over and over again
the hits, the burning, the
outrages, the hangings
where are you
are you hiding in the closet
what about the bathroom
that right
there you are
wrapped up in a towel
blood stained and forlorn
my friend my friend
where have you gone
I heard a whistle in the air
As a little girl cried, “It’s not fair”
Because her parents did not care
Out late drinking every night
Coming home in a drunken fight
Things were never right
This little girl had one request
But this, her parents had to detest
She wanted things to be sane
Just simple and plain
One day with no fights
Or drunken late nights
These were her rights
But this her parents could not give
So it was she who could not live
It was for them
That she can never forgive
She cannot live for long
For it is she who will never belong
Picking a knife
Out of the kitchen drawer
She realizes
She doesn’t care anymore
She runs up and hides in her room
And as she looks out at the moon
She says her last goodbyes
And with the tears that she last cries
She slits her throat and dies
That little girl was me
She walks towards me in the street
Matching me stride for stride
Each step closer
My vision takes her in in increments
Hair, face, breasts, hips, legs
All so achingly familiar
Memories in waves crashing through my soul
The innocence we shared
Before life took hold
Before days passed
Then weeks
Now I feel like I'm 10 years late
For everything
I see in her the girl who knew the world was fair
That knew the party would never end
That saw the future as an adventure
Not a slow battle to stay afloat
But now I am closer and I can see
Time has stolen her bloom
Robbed her of her wonder
But I remember
The girl inside the woman
Who knew life was to be lived
Not just survived
And as I reach out to brush a hair from her face
My hand only bumps the glass
And as I search my own reflection
He takes my hand and asks me what I see
Nothing I reply
Just a girl I used to know
It's boiling inside me like a big balloon that can't take anymore
air or it will explode
I'm trying to do my best to keep it in but it seem like nothing is working
I pray and i pray and don't get me wrong i'm not gone stop praying
because if i give up what
is that telling myself that i did it for nothing and i plan not to look at
myself like that.
I look in the mirror to examine myself and tell me what do i see
I see black beautiful girl trying to to do something with her life
I see a girl that is different from everybody i know in some way
i believe that this girl i see is
going to be something and somebody one day.
I would love for people not to look at me for the color of my skin
but for the character that i
bring to you
If you judge me before you get to know me then when you get to
know me how would that
make you feel cause i'm not a bad person no no my mother raise me
better than that with
the help from the lord
But when i really examine myself i see a little girl thats stuck on the
directions she should go
and hardly can't find her way but thats ok i'ma make it and i hope
that ya'll would pray for
me 1 day yeah it's me the gurl in the mirror but the problem is that
its my anger that keeps
me in fear
Little girl standing at the door
I ask her, "Who are you waiting for?"
Without movement she says, "He'll be here.."
Hours go by and the girl has not moved
'Cuz if she did it would be a second she'd lose
Days go by and the girl's smile is gone
Her eyes eager to hide all the wrong
Weeks gone and she's sitting at the door
You could see her footprints in the floor
Months pass and pain fills her heart
Where was the sunshine in this dark?
Years gone, she's twenty now
The happy lil girl now wears a frown
No sign of him, hurt, she leaves the door
"Bye daddy," she says walking away
leaving nothing but her footprints in the floor.
SS
Have you seen her?
In dreams I do see
A little girl lost
Within the cracks of cold concrete
She feels the weight upon her
That awful treading of life's feet
Consumed within their hardships
Those cracks begin to seep
A little girl lost no more
Lives forever in my dreams
Whispering haunting reminders
From within the cracks of cold
concrete
