The girl feels the darkness
Closely
Creeping

She stands, afraid,
Crying
Weeping

She smiles, she laughs,
And it
Abates

But it's not over- the
Darkness
Waits

When the lights grow
Dim
Again

The failed dreams, the wishes, the sorrow
Come
In

And then all that she
Can
Do

Is wait, and survive, endure-
Stay
True
GracefulWords Nov 2014
She wants nothing more than
Attention,
Just a single sign, a
Mention

That someone, somewhere,
Understands-
And maybe they'll be her set of helping
Hands

Best friends
(Well, until the end)

One I could trust
You listened
We laughed
We cried
It didn't matter; just together

Friendship to rust
We fought
You yelled
I stepped back
And felt light as a feather

Every time
I'd come back;
You were my
Only true friend
I shouldn't let you go

If I had a dime
For every sharp
Word we'd thrown
I'd be rich
Worth it? No

Then you disappeared
I was
suddenly free
But alone
Me, isolated

I changed and feared,
Made different
Friends
Who helped me
But it was fated

You came back
I was
Thrilled-
Time erases pain
Through and through

You tried to fill in your tracks
Left behind
But other friends
Were already there
No space for you

Best friends
(Well, until the end)

Your words pierce my skin
Like a knife cutting steak
They go back and forth in my mind
Until they sever a piece
Of my heart off
Because that's what your words are meant to be
A weapon you use
Against me
GracefulWords Nov 2014
Funny,
Loud, and
Laughing-
He's happy

Perky,
Cheerful, and
Giggly-
She's sappy

Thoughtful,
Quiet, and
Deep-
This one's smart

Creative,
Inventive, and
Colorful-
She likes art

He listens
She glistens

He plays a sport
She's on Mock Court

Every
One
Is
Some
One,
Plays
The
Part-

Enjoys
It,
Has
Fun­

Or

Conceals
A
Broken
Heart

Hide
So they like you
Hide
So they can't see
(Hide)

Hide
So you can fit in
Hide
So you can be one of them
(Hide)

Hide
The voices
Hide
The shame
(Hide)

Hide
The differences
Hide
The dark side
(Hide)

Inside
Where they won't know
Inside
Where they won't find
(Inside)
GracefulWords Nov 2014
Masked,
Every single one

Asked,
Always fine

Unbidden,
But always

Hidden
And fake
