They found her body;
At the bottom of the ravine.
Said she jumped in the night,
that she never looked back.

I wonder if anyone ever understood her,
I wonder if they even knew her.
Did they know she was hurting?

They did not care that she was gone.
They closed the case and called her dead,
A text book suicide, no victims remained.
Call the morgue and have her tagged.

I wonder if they knew,
About all those she hurt when
she died and left them behind.

Comfort the sobbing parents,
Watch her sibling misunderstand,
Send the family away,
And never think of her again.
you watch the world
with empty eyes
so beady and black
yet not a star in sight
you wonder what the point is
after all you've been through
why isn't it over yet?

I've gotta go now
Who am I trying to fool?
We all know I still love you.
Why can't I just admit I ******* up?
I guess for me that'd be new.
How long will I feel this pain?
I miss who we were together.
What did I do this for?
I swear, I thought we had forever.
When will this sorrow reside?
I think it will continue to haunt me.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I doubt it, cause now you're free.
Did you know I loved you?
I guess maybe you couldn't really tell.
Don't you remember what we had?
I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to yell.
I don't really know what I was trying to say, but I hope you all enjoy!

Though I created the form, the 10 word poem, I rarely write them--I am invariably too verbose for this laconic form. Here, nevertheless, is my contribution to Jeffrey Shannon's 10 word poem challenge.
I won't let my
heart be broken

who doesn't know
