What do you do…
You fall in love with your best friend.
He's in love?
But not with you.
Sitting there imagining his arms,
Protecting arms,
Around you.
Then.
You remember his heart belongs to another.
He's taken all the poetry…
today you feel empty.
Waking to fog and snow,
Wanting to die there.
You were alone.
Again you are alone.
And yet, you can never tell him
Your heart is bleeding.

I'm suppose to be strong,
To rise above my fears,
To turn the other cheek,
And take the beating.
Told tears were weakness,
Don't show emotions.
Plaster the smile back on
For happiness is strength.
It doesn't matter that I'm alone
Right?
Trusting only one,
Everyone else… I was broken by everyone…
It doesn't matter. I don't…
But to keep going.
All I need is strength today, tomorrow.

Lazy.
Only because I'm talking to you and eating,
Instead of doing homework.
I'd rather be talking to you
Than studying.

Last.
Not to be there, but to leave.
Even when I fall asleep you are still here,
I wish you could hold me now.

Lady.
That what you call me,
A princess.

Lack.
What I have when I am not with you.

Love.

Would it be better
If I left you?
I surely couldn't have
Hurt you so much
If I was gone to start.
I wish…
Wish with all my heart to
Take the pain away,
The pain I give to you,
And all other pain too.
If only I was better,
Then I could help.
But I can't… and
All I want is for you to be happy.

Please be there.

It's dark here sometimes,
When I can't see the end of the tunnel,
When my sparks are so dim--
They don't have light.

At least let me know that you are waiting,
Call out to me:
I'm here! I won't leave!
Even if you think I can't hear.

I can't hear,
Sitting here crying,
Trying to find the light,
The right way out.

Are you the way out of this?
Do you know the way?
I have forgotten...

Help me.

She feels empty...
Not being able to talk about it,
For she doesn't want to hurt anyone,
To see their expressions,
Their eyes,
Change.
Left alone to wonder,
But trying hard not to think of
The terrible things she could do to herself.
She tries to live, to smile,
Holding on,
Tired.

I can't stop thinking about you.
Can I be your treasure,
Your love,
Your perfection?
I'm never going to amount to enough,
But you make me feel like I do.
Finding safety in your arms--
A feeling I can't explain.
Trust completely,
Could this be love?

I want to see where this will go,
But not to go our separate ways.
