Too Late

I asked him
"why the long face?"
he told me
he needs saving
I didn't understand
what he meant
until I got that dreaded call;
1am he is in pain
I told him I'd be there soon
but I didn't make it
he lay there
******
lifeless
drowning
in his own blood
with a blade and a note
on the side
that read
"you were too late"

Friday night

I sit in the corner
silent
On friday night
alone
Me and my thoughts
isolated
No one will notice me
gone

He

When he looks at me; I feel like I could fall in love with his eyes everyday

When he says my name; I no longer want to live in black and white

When he touches me; I would give anything to take back my days wasted alone

When he kisses me; I forget about my strangling web of insecurities

When he leaves me; I am lost in the darkness

3 words 8 letters

3 words
8 letters
of bittersweet
nothing that you
stained me with
when you spouted
out your rugged lies

These are the things I long to say

Am I the only one to notice;
That you crack your knuckles when you are nervous
That your timid smile never reaches your eyes
That you pretend to be confident around your fake friends
That you are in a maze of lies
These are the things I will never say

Will you ever notice;
That I understand you are scarred in more ways than one
That I want to be the one to help you mend
That I love your spider legs and tousled curls
That your shadow is not your only friend
These are the things I will never say

Please notice my screaming silence;
For these are the things I long to say

— The End —
