Blank sheet of paper
Pen in hand
Where do I begin?
Do I start; Dear mom
Dear dad
Do I say; Sorry for leaving?
Sorry for the pain?
Could you tell me please before I leave?
I've got a picture from the past
There's a smile on my face that seems so real
And the light in my eyes . . .
It sparkles
Shiny new bike
Baby sister at hand
It seemed so real
That smile I wore
I wish I could go back . . .
Don't cry
Don't fret
I'm sorry for keeping it all in
Never telling you of the pain in me
I couldn't take away your world
I couldn't let you blame yourself
Don't shake your head with tears in your eyes, I know you
This is true
This wasn't your doing, I couldn't take the pain . . .
Not anymore
Dear all,
As I lay here
I dream of you and me
Funny how I seem happy there
Laughing without the pain
That little girl is no more
The one filled with anger . . .
She doesn't exist
And the pain?
The one you never saw
It's not real
At least not here . . .
And I'm happy
Can't you see?
Words on paper
Eyes closed
Breathe no more
Waiting for you to come . . .
