Mommy, Mommy please don’t leave me here
Don’t you see the cuts?
Oh wait, no they disappeared

Daddy, Daddy why can’t you read the fear in my eyes?
No no, forget it
Just leave me alone with these lies

Brother, Brother you were supposed to protect me
Didn’t you hear my screams?
Don’t worry, nevermind, I’ll set you free

Sister, Sister I thought we were best friends
You missed my pain!
Oh well I guess all friendships are destined to end

Where was my family when they were needed?
Too busy dealing with **** that they missed my pleading
I wonder if now they see my tears
Hey there, Mommy! See! See! Those scars were real!
And Daddy, I’m so sorry to say
You won’t be seeing much in my eyes now from this day

Big brother, do your hear my cries now?
Funny how when you’re gone your voice suddenly becomes so loud
And sister I guess you realized it, ‘cause you forgot your boyfriend
That never happened when I was there, gee I wonder how long I’ll contend
What’s the big deal? You never cared when I was there
What’s the use now in all of those stupid prayers?

See I’m gone and I can’t come back
Dead is dead and now I’m lost in the black
But what I think is the most ****** up thing
Is how the darkness took me up under it’s wing
Now I’m at peace, wrapped up in it’s embrace
And you’re left here alone with the guilt you must face

I’m finding it harder to write now
When the words once leapt on screen
Now the flow’s slowed to a trickle
A pale version of it’s former gleam

I once wrote this was my lifesblood
And if this were to be true
I find my strength depleting
Just barely able to scrape through

Can you sense I’m passing
From this world into the next
Cause of death: Exsanguination
Due to scarcity of text

With but a single kiss
You set alight my pyre
My body starts to burn
Ablaze from your fire

No water can contain it
Nor can it be diminished
The flames grow ever higher
Don’t let this go unfinished

Can I escape this desire
Or am I to endure
This raging wildfire
Sparked by your allure

Will I be able to extinguish
This inferno which you forged
Or has it scorched my soul
Leaving me with this eternal urge

So what is it I’m feeling now
With my skin aglow and heart aflutter
I’ve never felt quite like this, about someone
who wasn’t created by a writer

This is a new experience
One I’m scared to embrace
Change can have two outcomes
I don’t want to end up a charity case

I think I’d rather stick to my poems
Than chance a broken heart
Words have been enough thus far
Why should I break us apart?

I’m terrified of becoming
One of those ditsy, boy-crazed babes
But I find my world is different
Taken over by a brand new shade

Maybe I’ll take the risk then
What harm could it really do?
Who knows, if I’m lucky
Maybe he’ll like poems too

Don’t treat me like a child
Would a child do this?
Make you burn alive inside
Press your skin against my lips?

I’m not your little sister
Only a year younger
With the thoughts I have of you
I’ve developed a womanly hunger

Shh…. don’t speak
Just let it go
With the way we’re feeling
Why bother to say no?

You can tell me you don’t want me
But the joke would be on you
Because your body says something different
Showing me what’s really  true

If you’re worried about my brother
What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him
I know he’s your best friend
But we’re not acting on a whim

I know I want you now
But I’ll want you in the future
Don’t you think he’d love
His “bro” to be my suitor?

It really doesn’t matter
What anyone else thinks
I want you and you want me
Now let’s start with a few drinks

There’s ice in her veins that wasn’t there before
A chill in her soul that freezes her very core
The man she loved is who’s to blame
He lured her into this sadistic game

She never had reason to doubt
He’d warmed her from the inside out
Or so she had so innocently thought
But all the love she’d felt was for naught

For this evil snake in disguise
Had kept hidden an ugly surprise
One which would rock her world
Leaving her with a heart so gnarled

He raised her up to watch her fall
Standing by as she was forced to crawl
Wonder why she is so cold?
There’s still more to this story that goes untold

Her vision blurred
As she watched him kneel
He looked upon her with love
And yet she felt so surreal

He took her hand
And she fought for air
He whispered his vows
And she melted in his stare

She loved this man
With all her heart
And with one word
They’d never be apart

She nodded her head
And he held her close
She squeezed him with all she had
And her pressure rose

Thanks for this he said
She smiled and looked away
I know she’ll say yes now
She knew not what to say

You’re the greatest friend I have
He told her with a grin
She laughed her way through the pain
And imagined what could have been
