"Don't do it!"
I scream,
As tears fall from my face,
I know I should run,
But my feet stay in place.

In that pale moonlight,
She stands on the edge,
Hurtful words fill her head,
From he so called "friends".

I just can't let her do this,
I can't let her fall,
She said it's the only way,
To escape from it all.

From the pointing and laughing,
The secrets and lies;
That's the reason she's here,
The reason she cries.

She needed a friend,
That's why I'm here,
As she whispers goodbyes,
I slowly draw near.

I grab her arm,
I pull her away,
Away from the edge,
I need her to stay.

Heart beating quickly,
Mind filled with fright,
Not knowing if I'll die,
Or make it though the night.

My poorly lit shelter,
Sends out a tiny glow,
The only light in the whole world,
The only home I'll ever know.

A groan there,
And then bones rattling,
A spider's hiss,
Heart shattering.

My adrenalin is escalating,
If I should run I'm contemplating,
Even as the sounds are fading,
I still sit inside just waiting.

Through the window,
I see red eyes,
Surrounded by a sickly green,
I freeze right on the spot because I know just what this means.

I hear a boom,
that fills the room.

Frustrated, I slam shut my screen.

Sometimes I think about myself,
About what I could be,
If only I could do it,
If I believed in me.

My self esteem is pitiful,
My ego barely there,
So I put up a solid wall,
And act like I don't care.

I do have dreams,
They're magical,
And utterly,
Fantastical.

But they're just that,
Unachievable dreams,
Someone else could achieve them,
Anyone but me.

I want to break free,
I want to do my own things.

Things that I've never done before,
That I now love.

Love is something that I want,
But I can't have yet.

Yet there's always hope,
There's always tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be better,
Today is in the past.

Past problems will fade,
Just stay strong.

I dream of you,
More than I'd care to admit,
When I saw your face,
That was the start of all this.

I'd heard your voice,
Taken your advice,
Never even thinking twice.

I didn't know what you looked like,
I didn't care,
But once I saw you,
I saw something there.

You are obviously oblivious,
To what you are,
Why so humble?
When you're a star.

I wish I could meet you,
Maybe one day...

Until then, stay single;
I'm coming your way.
