“It’s been almost three years, can’t we just drop it already? This is all I want to say about him.” I said, slightly shaking.
Joanne, my therapist, looked at me from her desk, “You haven’t said much about him. How do you feel about him? What would happening if you bumped into him at Wa...
It's been six weeks now...
And you still haven't called.
What did I do wrong?
Was my love for you not enough?
What went wrong?
I've tried my hardest...
But I guess that isn't enough for you.
Will I never be perfect enough?
What about when I'm dead...
Will you care a...
I want to go back to that dream world of mine
Where you and I lay,
Soaking in the light from the moon,
Taking in the breeze,
Listening to the silent stream,
That flows gently next to us.
I want to feel your warmth,
Smell your scent mixed with mine,
Hear your heart beat under me,
Taste your ...
You’ve seen me in my darkest hour,
When I wanted nothing more than to die;
To feel the blood pour from my veins;
To let the eternal sleep take me under.
You’ve seen me in my grossest hour,
When I haven’t shaved in days,
My face is make-up less,
And blotchy from the endless tears.
Y...
Here we are now,
In our own personal hell
Going day after day,
Doing what is planned for us.
Never getting to socialize with our peers.
Or smell the fresh spring air.
Is this not prison we ask?
They tell us no,
That we are here for help.
But what brought us here can’t be easily fixed.
Th...
Prison;
That’s what it is really,
This place here,
Where I’m kept:
Locked up, to keep me out of harm.
Every door is locked.
Every room is checked.
Everybody is kept apart.
A foot away they tell us.
Only simple conversation allowed,
Even about this attempt at food.
Not that it’s rea...

It’s hard to see you now.
We were so close.
I really did love you,
But I had to walk away.
I had no choice.
You loose that option,
When you try to die.
I know you were there to fix me,
But I couldn’t grasp your hand.
If I would have, I would have never let go,
But I was far too gone fo...
I can only take this for so much longer,
Before I just end it all.
I’ve gone though this once before.
Everyone says I’ll be just fine.
That live is worth living,
But if that’s true,
Why am I facing the bullet once again?
With nothing to hide the pain....
I found your death in the paper today.
I guess you died the day before last.
I don’t know what to feel.
I should hang my head and cry,
Should I not?
You were my grandfather after all,
But I don’t feel sad nor sorry.
It wasn’t like I knew who you were really.
And you surely didn’t bot...
It's a love affair;
I really do swear it;
Me and you, in all of your forms.
I don't know how I came to like you;
Let alone love you;
Nor become to need you;
But I do know I must escape your abusive love.
After all, we're nothing, but a drug love affair....
“Sixteen days… that’s all that’s left.”
It was the first thing he said to me as I finally sat down in front of him, the smoke from his cigarette swirling around us. I wasn’t entirely sure what he meant by six days, but I had a pretty good guess; and it turns out I was right. SHE woul...
