You see them dance to purple rain..
while the other girl sits at home..
a teardrop of blood rolls down her cheek and she pours out her heart and soul onto paper.. losing her best friend.. trapped forever in a prison.. surrounded by memories of distant life, distant love, distant truth.. doubting her self-existance.. she is like a wilted flower.. slowly losing her appetite.. dying more and more until she fades away.. does anyone care? about the being that loves you unconditionaly, even though you don't deserve it.. it's time to give up, to give in.. to the world she once knew.. and the world she will come to know again.. she needs to be saved.. in whose heart does she belong?

I felt alone in this world. My best friend was drifting away, my boyfriend.. well thats another story. I hope people can understand that sometimes teens feel like they don't belong.

i think everyone should understand that. i don't believe there to be one person in existence that hasn't felt alone at some point. your poem was very well written, i liked it
