Why Do We Have To Be This Way? Poem by kayla martinez

Life is slowly falling apart,
Because we are no longer friends.
I tried to give you my heart,
And this is how it all ends.

Loneliness is all around me,
But it doesn't have to be like this.
People cannot really see,
It's like I'm falling in an abyss.

Patterns start to fade around,
People start to kill others.
This is no play ground,
Not playing around with your brothers.

Why do we have to be this way?
Knowing you is the best part of life,
But this secret I keep isn't okay.
Now I'm slowly reaching for a knife.
