Sister, sister
save my soul
sister, sister
don't leave me alone.
...

Baby girl
I love you so
Baby girl
Please don't go
...

The people in my past
The ones who left me alone
The ones who cared not for me
I forgive
...

Sunshine pours in
Light shining all around
Water droplets fall into
The murky, dark emptiness
...

I wonder when
The shame and regret
Will disappear
...

Screams break the silence
As I cry out in pain
He grasps my heart
And yanks it from my chest
...

You said you loved me
You said you cared
But now you're leaving
As if you were never here
...

When the lights go out
Fear sinks within me
When the lights go out
Bodies take the place of shadows
...

When all that's left is fear
My being is corrupted
I'll plead to you in silence
To replace my every hope
...

What if I'm not worth saving?
All of these poems could be my death
Beaten down, shot in the head
Cuts on wrists or hanged
...

In life everyone gets scared
Spiders freak me out
Creatures in the dark terrify me
But that doesn't compare to my greatest fear
...

Your kisses leave
Me breathless
Your touch sends
Butterflies in my chest
...

Sweet scent pulls me closer
Warm arms embrace me
Soft kisses upon my lips
Light fingers graze my cheek
...

I smile just
To hide the tears
Just to distract
You from all my hurt
...

Looking back at
What I've done
I have no regrets
None
...

I cut out my heart
Bloody and cruel
I give it all
I give it all to you
...

With fights drug on
And hateful words
With Shrieking actions
And heartless eyes
...

Blue skies part and let the rumbling clouds roam in.
Birds take flight and hide as rain drops down.
The puffs of white transform to monsters of gray,
Rain pours down piercing the thick air.
...

Someone asked me today
How many people have I told
That I loved them, I thought for a moment
And in those few seconds faces flashed before me
...

Your obsession with him
It drives us insane
He is no longer yours
Stop calling his name
...
