Can You Hear Me?


I'm calling out,
but nobody hears me.
Is anyone there?
Does anyone care?

Tears streaming down 
my face, I can't do this
anymore. I just want
to be normal.

I want parents that 
don't leave. I want 
friends who care.
I want to be happy.

Red lines trace over
my wrist. I'm sorry,
I couldn't stop myself.
I needed it.

Dark circles hang
under my eyes. I haven't 
slept in days, My thoughts
keep me awake.

The tears stop coming.
I'm not sad anymore,
just numb. This is worse 
than sadness, though.

My throat is raw
from the crying and 
calling. I eventually stop
calling. Nobody's coming.

The tears stop, 
the calling out stopped, 
everything stopped. 
I gave up.

"I'll Be There"

Everyone always says "If you ever need me, I'll be there." But when I do need someone, when I crying my eyes out in the corner thinking of bringing the blade out once again, when I can't find the motivation to get out of bed, when nothing feels right and all I want to do is cry and have someone tell me it's okay, nobody's there. Never. So how am I supposed to believe you when you say "Trust me, I'll be there no matter what. All you have to do is call.", but when I do call, you're busy or ignore the ringing? How am I supposed to tell you when something is wrong when you never listen for the goddamn ringing?

Everything I Want

You are my everything. Don't say that I'm just one of your many others. Not when I have ripped my heart out of my chest and put it in your hands after hiding it behind miles of concrete walls for so long. Don't tell me I'm replaceable when you're the only person I want, when you're all I see. Please please don't tell me that I love you more than you love me. I can't handle that again... You are my everything Please say I'm your everything, too...

Last Summer

Do you remember last summer when we explored parts of the city  we grew up in but never saw? When we had picnics in the park looking for faeries under the mushrooms and danced in the suns rays, oblivious to the people watching? When we went swimming in the sweltering heat? The cold refreshing water and the smell on sunscreen. The snowcone battle that you won by pushing me into the pool. When we kissed goodbye on the roof of the tallest building in our city before leaving our separate way? Do you remember the tears and our embrace neither of us wanted to end? Do you remember  the salty lips and desperate eyes? Do you remember  how you promised to love me forever? Forever is over and done- ripped apart by your tongue. Makes me wonder how this summer will be. It'll be hard to compare to the adventures and love  of the one before.
