Smile they say your should smile more
You are prettier when you smile
But she says, your teeth are so yellow.
I like your hair they say. She says
Why are your bangs in your face?
You look so cute they say yet she says
Don’t wear that it makes your chest look big.
You have cool shirts they say, her response why are you always wearing black?
I love your shoes they say, she shouts
Straighten out your feet!
No matter how much they compliment
She will always have a counterpoint
They and she can agree
My smile was infectious. So where has it gone?
They and she agree I used to smile more...

When you were there
I couldn’t remember
But when you were gone
That’s all I remember

You left
You died
I hate you
I miss you

The you that died
Wasn’t really you
Yet you’re both gone
One in the same

Two sides to a coin
One day it stopped
No longer flipping with life
Laying on the permanently dark side

That is how you died
Alone in the dark
You’re actions put you there
Not mine

But now I’m here
In the dark
And I can’t get out
Part of me is gone

I hate you
I miss you
You left
You died
