This is a poem about a young girl with a broken heart. Her boyfriend has just left her and she is left alone to grapple with her emotions.
The Midnight Confession:
Alone she stands in the dark of night
Abandoned by the one who loved her
The letter she holds within her hand
Says that he has left her for another
Her heart turns black like a lump of coal
Her smile turns to a face of stone
Her eyes become a pool for her tears
Realization of all her fears
Betrayal stabs her deep in the heart
A feeling she must reciprocate
Like a cancer spreading in her soul
She embraces the darkness of hate
Going alone to the high school dance
Watching other couples dance in pairs
Then she sees the prize of her lover
She gives this young girl a wicked stare
The demons in her want to be free
They demand that she seek her revenge
She fantasizes her destruction
Bringing her life to a painful end
She walks over to her ex-lover
A look of anger in in her eyes
Before she can say her angry words
She turns from her ex-boyfriend and cries
She runs outside into the darkness
The stars bearing witness to her tears
A feeling of suicide consumes her
Common thoughts for one her years
She was taught to pray up to heaven
Sharing her pain would bring her relief
She falls to her knees in the playground
Midnight confessions of all her grief
She closes her eyes and clasps her hands
She bows her head and takes a deep breath
She does not pray for his salvation
She smiles while she prays for his death
