The day before you broke up with me
I had talked to you about hope and
how love gets us through everything
about how we would be able to make it
even if your parents did hate me
You agreed
but I learned soon enough
that by that time you had already sent me
the letter
you know...
the one I received three days before my birthday
the one that made me cry until I couldn't breathe
the one that I tore up in a mad frenzy
the one that said you wanted to break up with me
after that months went by
I started healing
I started breathing again
and I saw that there were others
that could offer me so much more
more than you ever did
And then one day you just called me
assuming that I was still waiting for you
and you begged to have me back
I miss you
There's nobody like you
I'll do anything...
So you put me into the difficult position
of having to break a heart
to choose between an old love
and a fresh, but unsure new one
but the choice was easy made
I decided to gamble
It was the best choice I ever made
You accused me of lying to myself
told me I didn't fight hard enough for you
and more of those selfish things
conveniently forgetting how hard I had fought
for almost 6 years...
Three times you told me you weren't sure you loved me anymore
each time I fought and waited for you to come around
I stuck around through your deepest depressions
patiently pushing until you would talk to me
I agreed with all your decisions
you would never compromise for me
and compromising is all I did for you
I'm done constantly fighting
That's not what love should be about
And now after all this time
I'm not sure if I ever really loved you at all
or if I was just afraid to be alone

Goodbye
I've got an empty bottle for every day you didn't seem to care
And I've got 2 more for every day you were wishing I was there
What good is a message in a bottle that doesn't seem to float
Will I still be waiting for you when someday calls tomorrow home?
The storm lies in an empty sky and the sun lies in eclipse
And silently the world watches the calm apocalypse
Now I'm standing in the cold rain as it washes you away
Hoping I'm immortal because forever ends today
I know the worst is yet to come, and I know I'll have to fight
I know sometimes it's just time to say a long goodbye
But it's high time I found another way, it's high time I

Giving Up
Sometimes I pray that I can die
I want this life to end
I cry because I want to kill myself
And I cry because I can't
I know there are people out there
who have harder lives than me
This poem is for us, with hard lives.
People who have had their bodies used
for a pleasure not their own
Just as it has been done to me
People who are lonely
even though they have friends
friends who dont seem to want to
reach out and help
Just as I have felt
People with parents who find them
"useless" or "not good enough"
Just as my mom has told me.
People with parents
who get drunk all the time
making us worry
when they never come around

Tears of Blood
Tears of blood
Stream down my face.
I try to hide them
But they spread
Like a plague.
The pain is showing
All over my body.
The redness of blood,
Like a poisoned apple,
Has stained my skin.
My nails are caked
With the forgotten tears
Of those from the past
When I still cried
These tears of blood.
The red sinks into my hair,
Dying it the color of death.
I cannot escape it.
It is always there
Like a drunken tattoo.
Make these stop
I'm drowning in blood
The red sea is up to my chin
If I let out a scream,
I will drown and cease to exist.
Maybe that's the best.

After I broke up with my ex-boyfriend he kept harassing me off and on for almost 2 years. After his last attempt of emotional blackmail by e-mail I decided I should let it all out and so this poem came into existence.
I think it helped; I haven't heard from him since I wrote this
