She's Gone

I know you worry about me.

At least, that's what you say.

But I'm living life as it's meant to be,

And I don't want you to see me this way.


I'm afraid of my feelings.

I try to hold them inside.

Make you think my cuts are healing.

But they never do, and I can't lie.


I don't want you to worry,

But part of me just wants you to care.

For every cut, I really am sorry.

It's just.. you weren't there.


You weren't there to take the blade away.

And I can't just bother you with my problems.

It's not fair to force you to stay.

To force you to listen.


But I will always listen to you.

We've got a long, fucked up past.

Secrets no one really knew.

But for five months, memories were all I really had.


The girl you knew back then,

I just have to tell you, she's gone.

She's afraid to look in your eyes.

But only because she doesn't want you to move on....

This is actually about my friend Jeremy. We've gotten really close and I've always wanted to write a poem about him, one that wasn't like the ones I've usually written about guys. He means alot to me, more than he'll ever know, And I'm honestly glad I have a friend like him in my life. <3
