The day drags on
minuets seem like hours
hours seem like days
time has slowed to a halt
fading
in and out
out and in
never standing still
fast and then slow
this Monday
is oh so incredibly slow
its just

The test lies on my desk
Unmarked by my pencil
Questions waiting to be answered.
But I don't
I don't answer them
I let them lie on the page
The scratch paper beside me tells a different story
for it is marked many, many times
full of equations and numbers
Trying to help me
but I don't listen
to the correct answer calling me
I write on the quiz
after far to long
ignoring the correct answer
Teacher walks over
Wondering why my quiz is unmarked
I don't know why it lies unmarked on my desk.

When you say "I love you"
It comes out harsh,
like a threat
as if you mean to harm me
Your hands cup my face
our lips touch
you taste like poison
when you leave you text me
-- Meet at the park--
I walk ever so slowly
tip toeing to you
the world is suffocating me
You stand there at the gate
a looming shadow
I plan my escape route
Just in case
You grab my arm and pull me close
I feel a flutter
Then when you kiss me the poison drips
drip
drip
drop
the flutter dissipates
the only feeling I feel is dread
I back up
Step step step
you lurch forward
and grab me, pulling my arms
you then pull the knife from your pocket
just to show your power
you cut my wrist
then smile an awful smile
as my blood falls
running down my arm
you then whisper in my ear
a silent threat
"Remember what happens if you try to run."
your voice trails off
drippy
with death
I do remember what happens if I try to run.
You would pull out that horrid thing
hidden in your pocket
a death threat
staring at me
The swing moves ever so slightly
and I realize that you moved
you beckon to me
"come sit on my lap"
you say it almost
sweetly
but I know it's fake
I slowly walk to you
your glare makes me speed up
I sit on your lap
you swing so slowly
as if you don't want to drop me
but I know that you do,
I feel a pressure on my jeans
as you lean over to kiss me
I flinch ever so slightly
I can feel the poison
but I can't make you stop
you kiss me
I try to leave
"darling I have to go my family misses me"
You look confused
almost as if you don't think I have a family
You tell me
"Go, just know you can't escape me."
you daunt
I know I can never leave you
"The only way you will leave is in a body bag."
The horrid thing in your pocket
shines against the moonlight
panic floods me
I hop off of you and the swing
turn to leave but an arm reaches out and pulls me
"Trying to leave without a kiss?"
"No! I-I-I would n-n-n-never."
my words curl
as you step forward
leaning into me
I can feel the poison
drip
drip
driping
from your kiss
I speed walk out the gate
A car pulls beside me
it says 'Police' on it's side
"ma'am, are you O.K. is that man hurting you?
I turn to see you looming in the gate
smiling
"N-n-n-no th-th-that's my b-b-boyfriend."
I shake and quiver
The police officer tells me to get in
I shake my head
"He's still watching me."
The officer nods
like he understands that
if I got in the car that you would pull out the knife or worse
the horrid thing in your pocket
and threaten me to love you forever and ever
And kiss me
and make love to me
which doesn't feel like love
You leave the park
nod at the officer
and continue on your way
--Don't go with the cop you will regret it"

This is a poem about nothing
It's not about
Love or hate
Young or old
Trust and pity
Not about
Time slowing
leaves falling
Children screaming
It's not about
Life or death
cold or tired
together or lonely
Not about
Ponds rippling
Friendships ending
Pages in books being flipped
it's about nothing
yet everything all at once.

The invisible girl wanders
not wanted to be seen
she covers up
she says she’s fat
when she looks in the mirror
she sees ugly, fat, no guy will ever like me.
she stops eating
saying she’s too fat and is on a diet.
She looses weight 5-10lbs
She is only 15
Healthy.
every. single. time. She…
looks in the mirror even after loosing weight
she feels like she gained pounds
she stops eating
only water.
Skinner, skinner yet
“Tiny, small waist, skinny, tight”
are the words circling in her head
pounding on her brain
Starving, malnourished, and sad
She dies at 16 only 30lb
Skinny
