I see you around from time to time.
You seem fine but I know somethings not right.
The days get colder and tears run dry,
You're missing so much in life.
Hour long phone calls knowing theres nothing in time.
I hear you breathe and I know you're alive.
The trail of your voice leads a cold lonely path,
And I wonder what you're thinking again.
You lie in your bed, Med. bottles lining the floor.
With blinds closed and a tightly locked door.
blinding lights turned off and one thought in your head,
"Id be better off dead"
Theres a knife next to your bed,
blood stained and marked of all the times you've felt this lost.
I hope to find you someday,
alive and well.
I hope you survive this self created hell.

OMG that is such a moving peice wrote with such emotion. It must be so hard for you to see your freind gg trough something like that. and i couldnt imagine how your friend feels, although i bet having a friend like you really helps becuase just from reading that you can see how much you care about them, and im sure they no that to. I hope your friend doesnt feel like this anymore. Right from the bigging of the poem i could start to sense the feelings of lonelyness and how you wanted your friend to just tell you what they were thinking. There were so many visuliaztions i had and so many images in my head from each line to the next, theres deffinelty something in the way you write the way it just grabs you and you need to read on. Another top notch peice.
Hope everything has ended up ok with your friend. I'm sure theres a big thankyou to yourself for being there for them.

WOW, it's actually FANTASTIC, not just good. but amazing. it's got a whole set of hidden meanings waiting for the perfect moment to jump ot and seize u, GREAT WRITE!!
-SAGE-
p.s.
if i may ask, what's ur name? -
good
i really like this piece, it seems very deep and i really like the images it created. I think, however, that it would flow a little better if the language was more figurative, other than that, its great!by the way, my poem "Blood" was not about cutting, its more mai facination with the substance -
this is amazing- its creates a clear visual- the beginning is eerie in a cold, dark, grey sence-- which i love- and i think that so many people these days can relate to it- which is terrible- but true-- on a scale of 1-10.. id say about a 15!! great write!

<3
knowing who this is about, it kind of makes me want to sniffle a little bit. but i love it. yeah...you know how hard it is for me not to say rad. anyways, no your poetry does NOT suck my dear, it makes me actually act serious for the 5 minutes reading it. and you know that's a hard feat to do.
so keep writing, and yes, you can definetly brag about this piece.
much love. -tanYa- -
I am sort of struggling to find the right words to describe this poem, but all I can say is that it is great. So filled with emotion. I love it!
-
I LOVE it!!
very emotionel, and very sad. though powerful as well.. I love it, just like the other poems I've read... you have true talent, and you should take pride in every single piece of yours... they are really amazing *sp??*. I would applaud this if I had any left, and though I can still applaud I'm quite low on points. so I hope this will do...
Take care, and keep writing.
Hate me never, love me forever.

powerful
this poem is powerful...brimming with emotion and truth. you have excellent insight and are a great writer, keep it up hun. this also reminds me of someone i know and am very close to, it couldve been written about them. and my biggest question has always been when to let go. -
I just, whoa, your poetry makes me despise my own, it's so rich in its wording and emotion, I will definitely come back to read more.
