Candy Simpson Poems

When troubles come a callin’
As those gremlins often do,
And my spirit keeps on fallin’
Till I feel low down and blue…
...

You say that you like me,
But that we're just friends;
Can I feel the same?
Well I think it depends:
...

It’s like I’m crying out blood
These tears of pain
It feels like a flood
They sting my face like I’m insane
...

I am so angry
This hate is so pure
I feel like you are doing something wrong
But I don't know for sure
...

What can i do to make you proud
I cant even ask this to you aloud
What would you say i wonder
Day by day
...

How can I stop the tears from falling when the one who’s supposed to love you forever is the one making you cry?
How could you walk out on your first child and not think about my feelings?
How could you bring another child on this earth to raise and not me?
Why couldn’t you just be there for me?
...

I hate the way you treated us
Coming home drinking those nights
Not one day went by without it
Those times you hit my mother, my brother
...

Some call it crazy
Some say it’s sick
But I think it’s freedom
The pain is fierce but quick
...

I press a blade hard against my pale white wrist,
seeking pain,
seeking comfort.
I smile as I see the bright crimson blood ozzes down my arm,
...

I feel guilty
that I didn't love you
like you loved me
you wanted to be with me
...
