A/N: This is my first poem. Please review. Tell me what you think even if you think it's bad.

A wish that won't come true

Why do you permit me to this pain,

This torture and this grief?

Why do you just walk away?

You stop, you turn, you look at me,

Sorrow in your eyes, and hit me once

Again.

Sometimes, I look inside myself and think:

Where did that boy go?

The one who laughed, the one who smiled,

The one who loved to be.

Well he's gone, and I'm here now.

The one you want to see.

My past is just a memory.

A reminiscent thought.

And some don't seem real anymore.

I wish I would wake up from

This nightmare.

I don't want to dream anymore.

I pinch myself once, twice, then thrice.

But my arm just gets sore.

This is not a dream and I can't wake up.

And that's what scares

Me so.

Why do you permit me to this pain,

This torture and this grief?

Why won't you just die?
