You made me cry
Broke my heart
Before you even had it
You weren’t supposed to know
And when you found out
You laughed
Then you told me you don’t care
I would have been fine
If I never knew you knew
But you had to point it out
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
I'm alone
Very alone
When I walk the halls
I do it alone
When I read my books
I do it alone
I have my friends
My awesome friends
But they can’t always be around
So I do it alone
I’m alright with being alone
That’s why I listen to my music
That’s why I read my books
That’s why I do this
Sit alone
And write
But sometimes loneliness hurts
Sometimes loneliness cries
Sometimes…
Loneliness leaves
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Always
Always loving
Always laughing
Always thinking
Always hating
Always leaving
Always screaming
Always yelling
Always crying
Always on the inside
Always silent
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Darkness is warm
And safe
Darkness is cold
And scary
Light is the same
It can be warm
And safe
It can be cold
And scary
In the darkness
You can’t see what hides
In the light you can
Darkness
You can feel safer
If you don’t know it’s there
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t
And you can always imagine
Light
You can feel safer
If you know it’s there
And can TRY to stop it
Maybe you don’t want to see
What hides
And what shows
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
I’m alone
Always alone
I don’t get a passing glance in the halls
I don’t get a hello
I have my friends
I have my best friends
My awesome friends
Who can’t always be there
They have their own problems in life
That they have to deal with
But when I sit alone
I always wonder
Things I wish I don’t
I remember heartbreak
And I remember stupidity
And I remember all those things
I wish I didn’t
So when I sit alone
You’re always here somewhere
In the back of my mind
Of the heartbreak you caused
That made me cry
No one knows I cry
I hide my tears
I don’t want sorrow
I don’t want pity
I just want you
To care
I know I shouldn’t
Because I know you don’t
But I can’t help it
I always smiled when I thought of you
Smiled so big I couldn’t breathe
Then they told you
How much I care
And you told me you don’t
Why would you do that?
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
I’m getting over you
Slowly
But surely
You looked at me
For the first time
In WEEKS
Yesterday
And I felt hopeful
For some stupid reason
Now I’m mad at myself
I let myself feel something for you again
Even after how bad you hurt me
After how you made me cry
But now
I don’t care
Because I’m getting over you
Slowly
But surely
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Oh, how she cried
When they all died
When they left her alone
When they left her all alone
She’d sit
And wait
For the family
She knew would never come
Never ride down the road again
Never kiss her forehead
Her brother
Never picking on her
Her mother
Never smiling
Or picking a sweet red rose
Her father
Never spreading his cheer
With his booming laughter
Her sister
Never helping her
When she would sit and cry
Her lover
Never giving her sweet stolen kisses
Never smiling at her
Never complimenting her
Even when she looked her worst
She loves them
They loved her
And now they’re gone
Leaving her alone
Leaving her all alone
Oh, how she cries
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
He always smiles
He always jokes
He always looks away
He never looks my way
Not so very different
Wrong
He is so sweet
Always so sweet
He broke my heart
He shattered it
But neither ever know
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Who could hurt you so bad
To make you do what you did?
You still bear the scars
Of your pain
I haven’t known you long
But I think of you as my sister
And I care for you like one
And I’ll always wonder
Who could be so cruel
As to make you feel so low
Those freaking meanies...
Want me to beat 'em up?
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
