Some nights
the thoughts in which I
call demons fill the empty
silences with negativity.
They fly around my
head and keep me
up until I want to  scream
at the top of my lungs
but I am restricted because
everyone is sleeping,
until my pillow is
drenched with tears
and I have no more strength
to stay awake.

Two writers fell in love,
their book was their love and the words written
were how they expressed it.
The commas were there to show that
no sentence would ever be long
enough to say how much they truly
cared for and loved each other.

The semicolons were there from
time to time because sometimes
it seemed like their love was ending
but they managed to keep it going.

The paragraphs were there to show
that even if they’ve been together
for a long time, there were still things
they could talk about.

The chapters were there for them to
look back on memories that they
wanted to relive and remind them
the past should not be repeated.

Their book was a love story.

She looked like a perfectly normal girl with lightbrown hair and dark brown eyes.
She walks down the street blending in with the crowd,
but people don’t see the things that go through her head.
In her head she is conflicted.
Conflicted whether her family loved her,
if they even cared but, why would they?
She was adopted at the age of four.
She was conflicted whether she should **** herself
because she felt like the black sheep in the family.
Conflicted whether she should eat because, she was a bit bigger.
One day, she wasn’t conflicted anymore.
She knew what she wanted so she put the gun through her head.
Her family found her in the bathroom but it was too late.
She left a note saying, “sorry I wasn’t enough.”
What she didn't know was that her family loved her,
they loved that she was different.
They loved the fact that she was a bit bigger because
she was still healthy and they admired that she didn’t care about her weight.
She was everything that they ever wanted.
In their eyes she was one of them, despite that they weren’t related.
They loved her, and now they were conflicted
whether or not they did enough.

She was daydreaming again,
and that was the most dangerous
thing she could do, but she
couldn’t help but be happy for
a minute or a two, she was desperate,
desperate to leave this so called
life of hers.

She daydreamed about the
noise in her house full of her
parents laughter instead of
angry voices, or silence because they
had nothing to say instead of
silence with tension.

She daydreamed about her sister
living past June because the doctors
say she will die soon.

She daydreamed that her brother would
stop drinking every night to numb the
the pain away because alcohol
doesn’t drain it away, it stays and drowns
you until you can’t breathe.

She daydreamed that she could leave
this so called life of hers.

When I was younger and I got hurt,
a kiss from my parents would
make the pain go away.
Now when I get hurt,
nothing can fix the aches
and pains in my heart.
No kiss can repair the damage
because emotional pain is
far worse than physical pain.
No kiss can repair the damage
because his kiss was the one
that made me fall
and break to pieces.
