Love Me Back

by ibelievedhim   Jan 31, 2010


Stuff the letters I found back in the drawer
I can't stand to read the hatred anymore
Words that remind me I AM what they say
All the hurt and pain, but it never goes away

Lost in this world, I can never hope to be
Drowning in loneliness, as vast as the sea
Hollow and empty, now reduced to a shell
I try so hard to please, but I can never tell

A girl who lives behind a mask, you don't really know
Parents, who won't take the time, watching as you go
Crawl back under the covers, only to stifle the scream
Left alone, abandoned, I always thought we were a team

I press the knife a little deeper, drawing liquid shame
Unloved by my own parents, who do I have to blame
Everything crumbles; I can't keep from falling apart
All the emptiness, I push the blade through my heart

    Katie,

    It's so hard to feel alone, especially as a teenager. I have been there, sweet girl. I found comfort in God and in all other people except my parents. So many other adults were kind to me during my childhood days. Maybe you could find something, a kind of community or a sports where you can team up with people who have a very positive and healthy outlook in life? It might do miracles for your outlook on life.

    Well written, I love how it rhymed, very nice indeed:)

    God bless and a hug,

    5/5 Ingrid
