What a Girl Should Never See

Hes looking into her eyes,
The way he used to look into mine.
Hes holding her hand,
As tightly as he used to hold mine.
Hes telling her he loves her,
Just like he used to tell me .
Hes risking his life for her,
The way he used to risk it for me.
Hes kissing her softly,
The way I dreamed he would kiss me.
Hes holding her closely,
As closely as he used to hold me.
i just stand there and watch them
theres nothing else i can do 
just sit back and watch my first love
replace me with my sister....

Im From ..

Im from the anger ,
From the hate i feel inside.
Im from the tears,
That i tried so hard to hide.
Im from the present ,
The future, the past.
Im from a relationship,
That i know will never last .
Im from the breeze ,
That rustles away the leaves,
Im from broken dreams,
That i shall never acheive.
Im from the hurt,
From the scars on my arms.
Im from the loneliness, 
That i felt for so long.
Im from this life,
From family and friends.
And if i keep going ,
This poem will never end...
