My Darling
I use to sit next to you
Smiling and laughing
Trapped by cold, stone walls
Locked behind bolted, metal doors
Your gorgeous smile
And heart-warming laugh
Was all that kept me alive
You were all that I had ever wanted
Your deep blue eyes
Could pierced my soul
And when you looked at me
I could see the warmth those eyes once held
You were worn down though
Your arms and legs covered with scars
Scars from years of abuse
From your peers, family, and from yourself
"God loves you
Why would a pretty girl like you
want to do
Something as bad as that?"
That's what one guy said to me
And as I looked at you
I realized
I didn't know why any of us did this
You were the only person who loved me
The only person who truly cared
But you and I
We were both the same
The same gender
You would never go for that
You would preach to me about religion
Teach me and help me
You were older then me
Not by much though
But our gender
Our ages
And the distance we would face
When the bolted metal doors opened
Would be too much for us
Although we made plans to be together
At least once more
After our visit to River Oaks
I never saw you again
I never got a call from you again
You never loved me
You never really cared
I didn't care about that
What hurt me the worse
What killed me inside
Is that you never said goodbye
And now
You're gone forever
Not just that
But that you took your own life
You're gone forever
Out of reach from me
Out of reach from everyone
But you'll always hold a special place
In my bleeding and broken heart
