The morning came
But I knew not
For still I laid
Smiling in your arms.

Hours trailed by
But we knew not
For time was just
A thing we spoke not of.

Soon midnight came
But I knew not
For still you cradled me
As we danced nakedly in love.

I'm sorry
My appetite
Is quite often not present.

I'm sorry
I can't
Eat four meals each day.

I'm sorry
You feel
As if you are responsible.

I'm sorry
You're stuck
With a girl like me.

Little girl
With long blonde hair
And big bright baby blues.
Perfect teeth
And a tiny waist;
Girls like her "never lose".

Lonely girl
With frizzy brown hair
And eyes with muddy irises.
Freckled face
And too large hips
Girls like her "nobody misses".

Little girl
With a stylish mommy
And a very wealthy daddy.
Endless toys
And posh private schools
Girls like that; "life's easy".

Little Girl
With no known daddy
And mommy who always lies.
Little food
And a ***** home
Girls like that "never survive".

Ive thought of you often
This past month
Often lost inside my head.

Ive thought of your dark brown eyes
Made up of
Mischief and practical jokes.

Ive thought of you laughing
Sometimes at me
Although usually, we laughed together.

Ive thought about all of us
Four best friends
Loud, young, and inseparable.

You were the big brother
Of us all
By blood for them; by heart for me.

We use to dream of
Being forever invincible
Until that one November day.

I Imagine what your face looked like
When you realized
Your car was no longer safe.

I will always remember the looks
Upon theirs faces
When that doctor told us to say goodbye.

November 23rd became the day
Four became three
As the innocence was bled from our hearts.

Sometimes I wish I could forget
Youre now gone
But I don't want to forget you.

She was in love with falling
So sweetly into his smile

She was in love with falling
So deeply into his arms.

She was in love with falling
happily into his bed.

She learned to hate falling
When he said goodbye.

Because falling has a different meaning
When no one is there to catch you.

From mothers arms and fathers feet
To shaking hands and ***** streets.

From sweet smiles and tender kisses
To a lost little child no one misses.

From overalls and teddy bears
To daytime tears and nighttime scares.

From bubble bathes and lullabies
To scarred up skin and lifeless eyes.

From parks filled with plastic slides
To a box with nails stuck in its sides.

Hush.
Dont speak,
For their mouths
Repeat all words
Their ever listening ears can pick up.
Sadly they are not always truth speakers
People get hurt
From lies spread.
Watch your
tongue.
