Sierra Staten Poems

It was a fight
A dumb fight.
A fight over nothing.
A fight that could have been prevented.
...

What do I do when nobody is there?
When my closest friends betray me and leave me to decide on my own, whether my life should be spared?
I can't blame you for leaving me but it was an evil thing to do, to leave my in my time of need.
I can't think for myself.
...

Dark days and darker nights
I swore I wouldn't show my fright.
Each day I live
Each day I die
...

I want you, I need you,
Please take me, I plead you.
I hurt now, you know this;
I don't want to show this.
...

She denied the observations
She denied her every thought,
Because the things that she was thinking
Were the things that she ought not.
...

A fire burns within me
Whenever she's with you
My inside is all ashes
And I wish she were too
...

I've lost all will to live.
I'm surrounded by unhappy music, people, and colors,
and I'm required to create my own happiness?
That's impossible.
...

You're funny.
You beg for my forgiveness, but this is just another one of your jokes, isn't it?
Are my feelings just a test for you?
To see if you can make me care about you?
...

Caring.
I do it too much,
Too often,
Too soon.
...

She loved greater than anyone could ever love
And she fought more than anyone could ever fight
Her only fault was that she always fought herself
And she was punished by herself every night.
