Lindsay King Poems

This is what suicide feels like
With the pills in my body and
A broken heart
I know why he had to get away
...

He promised me LA
He'd make me-
And I loved it,
Every word and every sound
...

we danced until the moonlight died,
oh wait, that was only in my mind
instead we sat together in the cold silence
every night and every day,
...

The sun is beating down on me
Has been for the past 6 months
I think about what it has brought
Through the scorching sun and pain
...

it seems so pointless to get up
to get up just to remember how empty this all is
you erased me
you replaced me
...

I had been with such pond scum before
That it’s no wonder
That a mossy rock looked so good
Surfacing to the shore
...

it seems so pointless to get up
to get up just to remember how empty this all is
you erased me
you replaced me
...

i'm hiding a picture of you
in my purse behind my wallet and cell
it means nothing now
so it means everything somehow
...

dont act like
its nothing
stop thinking
i need to
...

if you wanted to leave me for dead,
then don't come around to see if I made it out alive
if you wanted me out of your life,
then don't do what you can
...
