Her cry, filled with pain.
Where is he?
Where did he go?
Didn't I see him? Just a minute ago?
He was here, and now he's gone.
And now a thought begins to dawn....
He's left her, he's moved on.
She loved him, he loved her too.
Or so she thought, and in her mind, a plan begins to brew.
She'll get back at him, oh yes!
She will, she'll make him pay.
She'll even kill.
He took her heart.
She took her life.
And now that man has lost his wife.
He didn't leave her, he hadn't moved on.
He was too late....and now she's gone.
Pitter Patter goes the rain.
And now his cry is filled with pain.

Open CasketAn open casket,Open Casket7 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
a black rose.
I bend over her body,
my tears stain her clothes.
I feel their empty hugs,
they say I'm in their prayers.
As I mourn her death,
upon me are their stares.
They say they understand me,
say they know how I feel.
But I can see their steely glares,
they pretend this isn't real.
I say my dear goodbye,
they lower her into the ground.
I throw myself upon the dirt,
and weep without a sound.

EscapeI'm trying to escape,Escape7 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
trying to get away,
trying to ignore what they do,
forget about what they say.
No move I ever make,
can ever be one right,
every simple thing I say,
always starts a fight.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect,
the way I'm supposed to be,
the thing is your slowly killing me,
why can't you see?
I'd really like to run away,
where someone would understand,
to someone who could see my pain,
and gently take my hand.

I ChangedTrying to cover the tears, trying not to show my fears.I Changed7 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Why do I keep it all inside? My pain getting harder to hide.
I used to be cheery, it used to be real.
But now it's different, and they're making some big deal.
Saying "Why are you so sad?" and "You look depressed."
Can't you just leave me alone, let it rest?
So maybe I've changed...what's that got to do with you?
Just because I've changed? Well maybe you have too.
Everyone changes.

Stone HeartThe stone wall is peaking,Stone Heart7 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Making it's rise to the top.
I try not to think about us often,
I've simply put my heart on stop.
When people look at me,
All that pity in their eyes,
I stare back with my fake contempt,
Causing them to step back in surprise.
They say I take things quite well,
They think I'm doing just fine,
But truth is, I'm not taking it at all,
although deep down I've lost my shine.
I had this gut feeling from the start,
That I would end up broken,
But an idea called love got in the way,
Now on bitter tears I'm chokin'.
In my imagination you were different,
You were just the boy of my dreams,
But reality kicked

alone in the cold.
I can almost see the wind blow.
It brings back memories,
memories of you.
The way you used to smile,
you know, back we were two.
three musketeers minus one, "best friends".
The warth of your hug,
and those silly jokes you told,
while trying to cheer me up, force one smile out of me.
I opened up to you, telling you everything.
& now thinking back I realize...
you told me nothing.
Nothing worth knowing, anyway.
Whatever happened? Did you just get bored?
I'm not always cheery, not always interesting,
but I thought best friends was more than that.
Maybe I was too eager,
eager to believe I fi

FlawedInsecurities.Flawed3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Screaming at me,
haunting me,
clawing at every inch
of my body.
That little voice inside my head
sounding strangely like my own,
tearing me down,
apart,
from the inside.
Each hate-filled blow,
hits harder than the last.
Each self-inflicted cut,
each burn,
hidden in shame,
nonexistent to the piercing eyes of others,
visible only in that lonely mirror reflection.
Puffy eyes,
tear-stained cheeks,
little dotted lines drawn
over every flawed bit of me.
Not pretty enough,
talented enough,
smart enough,
good enough.
There is not a perfect inch
within my being.
Why can't I be beautiful?

the best of family.
The two of us,
just you and me.
You knew everything about me,
I thought that I knew you;
But the you I knew was different,
I didn't have a clue.
We were as close, as close could get,
but then it happened, you two split.
And the my trust,
just kind of quit.
How could you?
you lied to me.
When you left,
it made me see.
So many things you'd told me,
were all just stupid lies.
When it was truly official,
I finally opened my eyes.
What happened to us?
what happened to we?
What happened to you?
what happened to me?
Now I haven't got anyone,
nobody I can trust.
Haven't got anyone

the going gets tough,
sometimes saying sorry,
just isn't enough.

As her eyes open, her bedroom becomes a stage.
She climbs out of bed and puts on her costume. The uniform that brands her popular.
Her hurt is covered by makeup as she throws her hair into a high ponytail.
She grabs a bagel and kisses her mother's cheek before stepping outside and walking to teh bus stop, umbrella overhead to keep her perfect image from being ruined by the rain.
The bus pulls up, somehow managing to stop before it splashes a puddle of muddy water on it's boarder.
She boards the bus, her perfect image still preserved, and takes a seat next to her "friends."
