You let me fail,
you told me you would be there,
but you weren't.
You let my failures define me,
and didn't feel the need to defend me.

You let the wolves take me
and devour a part of me
that I had yet to learn about.

You called me your sister,
your best friend
but then one day,
I was no one.

You made me believe that you
would be there for me,
but when I made the wrong decisions,
you let me go with
the monster who almost ruined me
and my life for good.

Back then, I didn't know what to do.
I still thought you were my sister,
my best friend.

Then one day you went away,
and I never heard from you again.
It hurt,
and I felt relief.

I was glad you left,
it made me grow up
and made me chose the right people.

Even though,
I now see you on
a Facebook post,
I don't know who
you are.

Now you are no one to me,
not even a person in my dreams.
those friends who pretend to be there for you, but are only there for themselves.

I awoke in a puddle of tears,
can't remember if i cried last night
or while I slept.

The sun was out today,
but he hid away from me,
so all I saw were his cloudy eyes.

I laid there,
with all my fingers and toes working
but couldn't move them.

Finally I rose,
had my usual pork
and heart attack.

Didn't change any clothes
from last night,
I don't have anywhere to go.

Tried to write this poem
assigned to me,
but only wrote my name
a million times.

Stared at that box of characters
that can now follow you on
your phone, and your computer.

They seemed to laugh at me,
amused at my empty eyes, and my bumpy skin.
At my foolishness and
my childishness, and my
nonsense.

Laid there again,
not completely dead,
definitely not alive.

blank

Trying this again,
and failing,
the words are coming out,
but I can't feel them.

I check my phone
to see if anyone
would check on me,
but there was nothing there,
once again,
not even you.

I watched my characters on
my tv again,
this time I'm slighly amused
by their foolishness and nonsense,
and childishness.

In the shower.
Where I cried a sea of tears
and sobbed alot of nothings.

Came out as though
the only thing I washed was
my bumpy skin and empty tears.

Back in my puddle again,
getting ready for the next day.
a day in the life of me.

this is me.
in front of you,
eyes wide open.
with no tears
but can't you see
the sadness in them.
can't you see yourself in them,
can't you see the love in them?

i cut-

down the nails
so i don't cut the legs,
cut the arms,
cut out the pain.

after some time,
i let them grow,
until i have to cut them again.

Although you may be to young
to understand
and too beautiful to comprehend.
I will tell you about this world
this world i live in.

This world you will live in.

This world is not sweet.
This world is the enemy of some
and the death of many.

This world has no patience for tears,
no compassion for the unhealthy.

This big onion of a world has
its folds
and as we peel the folds
we cry,
we cry for the death of many
and the impatience of the tears.

He was thinking of the words
the words to say goodbye.

He was thinking of the kisses
and the hugs
and the love.

The love he no longer felt
for her.

He finally got the courage
the courage to look her in the eye.

He looked in those eyes and
realized he couldn't.

The words wouldn't come out,
the words wouldn't form.

So he thought of the kisses
and the hugs
and the love.

And said goodbye.
love, relationships, trust
