21/F/Boise Idaho "Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies." -Elie Wiesel
The biggest sacrfice one can give is to let a love one go. To be able to say goodbye to that person you destroy by your presence. Leaving you up in the middle of the night whispering their name. Knowing that they will never come. Living with a shattered self to protect them. Protecting them against you. Cause your bad news. It's been this way since birth. It's not a bad habit of destruction you carry. No, it's who you are. You want to embrace it. Yet, you can't. You lost the one person who did see that one sliver of good in you. It gave you purpose being with them. Now you have to turn back to the world before you knew them. Yet, it is different. They forever impacted you. Without the warmth they poured on to you, you grow cold in the dark. Waithing for a new light.

The Sacrifice
A loving mother weeps. A child grows cold in a hole. The world lost more than one soul.

Haiku
There's a saying it goes like this, "we're here to fill people's void, yet we never can completely fill it. No one can fill your void. So we're stuck in this cycle unable to find peace. We'll search and we won't be able to find the stuffing to fill that emptiness. So why do we do this? It's because we have hope. We need hope because that's all we have to find happiness. The people who figure this out are the ones who are depressed, they may be slightly suicidal. But on the off chance that you do find the stuffing to fill your void life is magical. And that's why we need to continue to struggle. To move forward and find our stuffing. To be that rare diamond in the dirt.

Void
The fictitious smile The cheerful laughter The pleasant greetings. Are all deceived you see. My calm quiteness, hides all that I compose from my woes. How are you doing today? I ask not that I really care. Ploting against on the inside. I act nice as someone who you think is nice. I didn't even try to say that nicely. My mask must be slipping. Or cracking. I may not be able to keep this facade up for much longer. I am the devil in white. Or so I was once told. By a wise man up north. "You are the devil, real as can be. Cheer up honey, it's sunny show them teeth. Be nice as you can be, so no-one can see. Be all you can be by this if not... Just flee." Who knew I would fall in love with the first devil? His words still echo into my ears. Or maybe it's just the voices I hear? Please God if you can hear me shoot me. I'm just kidding. I am just a loon. Trapped in a cocoon. Trying to hide my disturbing personality.

If love is a choice... Then I must be making bad choices with you.

Choice
I find out the precious life of yours is gone. Denial screams back into my head. No this is not true. You cannot be gone. I plead and plead on hands and knees crawling like a kicked puppy. All in my head of course. That's not the type of lady you want to be like. A faint memory of my grandmother scolding me. To me it fits the piece. How dare I show uncontrollable emotions in public. If public is considered my house that is. I excuse myself that is what a lady must do a reinforced thought on proper etiquette that crosses the line of mental abuse. I take a shower, the one place I can be left alone with my actual thoughts. No tears come because denial is the only friend that doesn't abandon me. I scrub and scrub my whole body. I do this it wash away the stains. The existance of you. And all that did remain. All the emotions that came from your lack of air. I hold my breathe to feel close to you. Useless I scream. Another part of me dies tonight. I deeply miss you. In ways that my feelings cannot express.

Denial
If your love for me doesn't die, I'll be waiting here so don't you cry. Cause I loved you once and maybe more in a different life time. If we find our way back here it was meant to be. I love you that's why you must go. Cause we aren't right for the moment and that's why we have to say bye. But I'll stand here till the ends of time. Because our love is stronger than any storm that has come. It doesn't rust but gleems. I said I love you once maybe twice. So go on and discover yourself. We are not right for the moment but we will find each other in time. No, I won't leave this spot. I am keeping it warm for you. So don't be gone for too long.

Our Love
From a farm town they grew. Daddy was a gambler, Drinker, Cheater Momma was mentally ill. She smoked on the porch and counted the clouds. Wishing to get away. Daddy would stumble home mad after losing all his money. The children would scatter, Faster than their attacker. One of them would grow up to be an almost track star. The only tracks he does now are running up his arms. Born into poverty self abuse is the only way to be. Some may get out of it like his sister. Who found a light at the bottom of a bottle. But little Ricky didn't make it past twenty. He always had good aim, who knew he would use it towards his head in blow away his thoughts? Down in the ground he rots. His mother soon to be. Poor baby she wailes, down into the grave she dives. What a tragedy this is. Maybe the family down the street will have a better story to end with.
