Emoticon: :'(

January 10, 2013

I'm staring at the keys.

What do I reply?

Her words are like knives,

they cut me.

Oh so deep,

they cut me.

Sort of like my knife,

only these wounds leave internal scars.

My knife leaves external scars.

Maybe she's right.

Maybe this world,

this cruel world,

doesn't need me taking up space.

I laugh as I press send.

She's so stupid.

What a fat cow.

How could anyone love her?

How could anyone love me?

No. I shake off the thought.

I cause others pain,

so I don't have to focus on my own.


Emoticon: :D


I watch my friend as she types away.

Her words are harsh.

Doesn't she know that words hurt?

Why is she smiling?

I could tell on her.

No.

I can't tell on my best friend.

Maybe I'll just apologize to the girl tomorrow.

I just don't want to get too involved.

I mean, it's not even my business...

Right?


Emoticon: :/
