Goodbye, My Friend

You’re my best friend, this hurts to say.

But sometimes your actions get in the way.

We’ve partied together through all the rough tears.

Promised we’d be friends for years.

I called you my sister, my lover at times.

You’d call me yours, and I’d call you mine.

Our friendship stayed true, and this is hard for me to do.

But I have to say goodbye.

Goodbye to our memories,

Goodbye to great food,

Goodbye to sleepovers,

It’s goodbye for good.

We no longer work on this bike built for two.

It’s no longer us;

It’s just me, and just you.

My tears will mean nothing, and neither will yours.

There are separate journeys for us to explore.

I loved you so much,

I’ve tried and tried.

But this is the last time I’m saying goodbye.  

Snacks

Crunch, munch, salty snack.

Crumbs on my face and on my back.

Fried delight, airy flavor.

Snacks for days, I love to savor.

Bag of chips, you know you’re mine.

Reaching into an empty bag,

Breaks my heart and makes me sad.

Buy new chips, such a treat.

Love to buy them, love to eat.

Midnight Waves

Way above the moonlight sky,

Little angels sing playfully by.

Out below and beneath the trees.

The soft white snow, and crunchy leaves.

Swish and sway,

The angels play

Jumping from the stars.

Dancing and prancing all night long.

Wondering where they are.

Heal

Don’t cut too deep,

Be careful, my dear,

Don’t cry, beautiful.

Your makeup might smear.

The scars on your arms,

They bring me to tears.

Releasing all of your sad, sad fears.

You don’t need more.

You sting and you’re sore.

I love you so much, my dear.

So stop all the harm,

All those people are wrong!

Your beautiful soul will heal.

The Thirsty Thief

Drink me, the bottle said.

Drink, drink, drink, I don’t want you dead.

Refresh yourself, renew thy thirst.

Drink, drink, drink until you burst.

Waterfalls and slow, cool streams.

Rain clouds and showers consume your dreams.

Revive your body!

Alive you and me!

Drink up my friend and drain the sea.

Luscious liquids flow down your throat.

Don’t drink too fast; my dear you’ll choke.

Drain me down, feel my power.

Drink, drink, drink until the next hour.

Drown in me! Let me in!

Let me cleanse you from all your sins!

You splash and you struggle,

While I create bubbles

From the blood you gave to me.

Mix and swirl, Kill the girl.

Don’t let her up to breathe.

I want your soul, you sad little girl.

I am the Thirsty Thief.  

One Pill, Two Pill. Red Pill, Blue Pill

Prescription meds, I thank you.

For keeping me sane, I had no clue.

How effective you are, treating my brain.

No longer suffering, no longer insane.

Effexor XL, Wellbutrin;

Abilify and Bacitracin.

The list could go on,

But I don’t want to brag,

About the prescription meds that I take,

That make me not sad.

Forgiveness

I can’t forgive you, dad.

I can’t forgive you, mom.

I acknowledge that I’m mad.
Don’t tell me to move on.

I’ve lived with so many fears.

Stained on my face are tears.

Nightmares every night.

Constantly battling myself;

I fight.

I fight my dreams,

I fight my scars.

I want to forget so badly

I don’t want to hold it against you guys,

I just want to be happy.

I’m afraid to bring up the past,

I can’t let you know.

I’m not sure how I’ll last,

With this secret as it grows.
