Me
Like the thrashing sea
One moment calm
crashing the next
Rebellious as if I were 3
I won't listen to you but
You better listen to me
Stuck in my head
I'm sure that's not what I said
Yesterday I severed ties with my cut throat tongue
I didn't mean it I promise
I was just being stubborn
That's the way I learned to be
Stubborn me

is laying in bed 'til 2 p.m.
thinking about everything else
that you could be doing
and
forgetting
everything
you
know

C.H.

You told me today,
That you wanted to die.
I could tell in your voice,
That it wasn’t a lie.

I never noticed till now,
Of how you fidgeted more.
I never noticed till now,
Of the sweaters you now wore.

But I did noticed now,
How your skin seemed pailer,
How your eyes darker.
Have you been eating?
Have you even been sleeping?

But when you told me,
I finally saw.
The darkness that surrounds you.
When did you start to fall?

Why didn’t I noticed,
That your smile missed your eyes.
Why didn’t I noticed,
That your voice told such lies.

If I had noticed sooner,
Would this had ever happened.
If I had noticed sooner,
Would you had never saddened.

I screamed for you,
Wanting it to not be true,
I cried for you,
Though I didn’t have a clue.

I waited for you,
For you to react,
But the mirror stayed still,
My image intact.
