The only time I've ever seen your smile leave your face was the night I watched your blood leave your body. And now I'm just a suicidal mess of broken pieces. I wonder if maybe there was time when drivers didn't drink and lovers didn't die. I wish there was just one day when your memory didn't make me cry. And I'm sick of the forced smiles and all the f u c k i n g flowers.
Pity doesn't mean a thing
It's the survivors guilt that breaks my heart.
I'm tired of the extra mile I walk just to avoid the white cross. It's not like you and that curb had something worth commemorating. And I wonder if someday the words I carved into my heart will ever fade. But baby, we both know the words on my wrist never will. And now the photos of us mean nothing. They're just memories now, and soon there will be no one left to remember them. Here I go thinking about thinking about you again. And I just wish they would take back their f u c k i n g flowers.
Pity doesn't mean a thing
It's the survivors guilt that's killing me.
And don't you people get it? they left me here, just a suicidal mess of broken pieces. And why should I talk when every word opens the wound? Why shouldn't I cry while my whole f u c k i n g world crashes down around me? You'll never understand so why the f u c k do you try?

Well, I'm guessing that this is Thursdays Prewrite? You don't have to add it in your Author's Notes now, considering the contest is over, but just correct me if I'm wrong :] I must say that I absolutely love this. It's so uniquely written & captivating. The title I think definitely caught my attention. It's so amazingly true. Thanks for entering & good luck ! ♥

If I didn't absolutely love this, I would have disqualified you. You kicked this poem's ass and for that, you're still in. Thanks for entering.
