Don'T Leave Me

On the day you told me you wanted to die,
I stared at the glowing screen, 
Mouth gaping,
Wondering if I was understanding your words correctly. 

You toyed with me to throw me off your trail
A rabbit zig zagging through the brush
But Im a hunting hound 
Trained for the best. 

I caught whiff of your suicide sent 
Its smell is familiar to me. 
Casual jokes, silence, im fine lies. 
All a mask to hide the truth you don’t want me to see. 

You don’t want me to see the razors in your pockets  
The empty alcohol bottles under your bed, 
The pills by your sink for illnesses you do not have,
The belt hanging from your fan, that is four sizes too long. 

You don’t want me to see this side of you
But I see it whether you show it to me or not.
You tell me to forget and move on
But how can I?

How can I forget the awful panic
That I might one day respond to the call
That you have tried to take your life
That I might hold your life in my hands one day. 

How can I forget the awful panic 
That I might lose you. 
That I might cry rainbow tears 
As your father serenades you into forever sleep. 

Forgive me if I seem selfish
Its just I have only now found a reason to live. 
And it kills me that 
My reason to live also wants to die.

Dear Crush

Dear Crush,

How many bruises?
How many lonely nights?
How many broken hearts?
How many hurtful fights?

How many 'i'm fine' lies?
How many tears will fall?
Do you think I'm blind?
I know she caused them all! 

But I can't sway your heart.
I cannot make you see,
That when you hurt yourself,
You're really hurting me!






Sorry for this sucky poem. :/

Sunflower--Another Version

If I am a flower
Let me be a sunflower.
Because you are the sun 
I never want to turn away from.

Lost

She’s an expert on the stars,
Orion, Venus, and Mars. 
But if love is true north 
she cannot find Polaris.
She settles for the moon.





[Can someone please tell me what form this poem is?]

The True Me

Red hearts of love,
Orange tiger lilies,
Yellow sun above, 
Green outer cities,
Blue sky with clouds,
Purple fruit abounds. 
These rainbow bands,
Bring color to my land.
What can I say?
I guess that I'm gay...

What a Sweet Sixteen

What a Sweet Sixteen;
I sit alone.
I stand alone.
I walk alone. 
I eat alone.
I sing alone.
I read alone.
I write alone.
I AM alone. 
Happy Birthday to me...

My Perfect Girl

If I could make
My perfect girl,
Far from fake;
Best in the world.

With hair so soft.
And eyes like doves.
Our hands would fit,
as tailored gloves. 

Her voice would sooth
My aching heart.
She'd move my soul
As works of art. 

She'd love me
With her whole being. 
Her laughter'd be
as angels singing. 

I'd give my life
For hers divine.
Through all strife 
She would be mine. 

My rock you see,
And my whole world.
Oh she would be,
My perfect girl.

False Hope

You smile.
You wave.
It's false hope,
You gave.

I loved.
I hoped. 
You rejected. 
I coped. 

My heart.
My soul.
Is jaded
You know. 

(From) 
You're smile.
You're wave.
The false hope
You gave.

Silly Girl: Depressives Can'T Be Optimists

I'm tired of fighting.
I'm tired of trying.
Tired of hoping,
And coping,
When you leave me crying.

Sunflower

They say the sunflower always faces the sun. 
Even on the days when the sun is barely visible in the sky. 
If I am the flower, 
You must be my source of life. 
Because everywhere I turn; you are there.
