Arrives
Ever wish you could disappear
A ledge to just jump; escape until
Something nagging at my throat,
Tugging and pulling
Drowning into darkness
Arrives.
The nightfall offers little escape
Try to come into
This horrible world of mine.
I need a relief , a constant dream awakening
Poetry for this kid
Who didn't make it easy.
I long to be alienated until
Unlike me, his In-Crowd, he
Talks the talk and walks the walk
Until a girl like me finally arrives.
Our eyes danced but my heart
It fluttered.
His girl arrived, a junkie in disguise
A cheerleader hides the Crank inside. Torn
up to pieces.
I don't want to stay down
This heavy addiction for the rise
And the drugs And
The slow sinking failing of the falls
He passed me in the hallways today
Looking my way he started to say.
Something that made the darkness,
Eat me alive. That's swell.
Considering the news today.
She was making out with another he
Knew nothing about
Until he showed up unexpectedly Arrived.
At her house, and saw a dude's cheating hands
Up her cheating blouse.
