A Better Tomorrow

by Zoe   Jan 22, 2007


You see a small girl
Sobbing silently
Hugging her knees
And shaking violently

Her heart was broken and torn
By a boy she loved so well
But when she knew he didn't
Her world suddenly fell

Crushing all her hopes
And darkening her heart
Stealing all her dreams
Her soul was ripped apart

Her happiness burning up
Her heart shut forever
Not letting anyone in
Not now or ever

Her eyes red and puffy
Mascara stains her porcelian face
Her body now numb to everything
To even the sweetest embrace

She tries to stand
But falls back to the ground
Tears spill from her eyes
But don't make a sound

She holds her breath
For a moment tears don't fall
But then she screams
This time louder than all

A boy made her cry
So many tears
A boy made her hurt
She'll be scarred for years

Scarred not on the outside
But deep inside her
And for the constant pain
There happens to be no cure

You can see the girl
Take out a blade
Cut her fragile skin
Soon all her memories will fade

Memories of happiness
Will slip into an unknown place
No memories no feelings
Just a girl with an empty face

She starts to stand
And slowly walk home
You know what will happen
That boy should have known

She will never be the same
Because of what he did
But weakness and hurt
She will never admit

You follow her home
And no one was there
She is thankful for that
Because no one would care

You're suddenly startled
By such a loud sound
You enter her home
To see her on the ground

She was a beautiful girl
With long brown hair
Brilliant green eyes
And skin so fair

She was strong and happy
A smile across her face
But as of today
She's in another place

A place without him
A place without sorrow
A place where she can always
Wake up to a better tomorrow

    I thought it was good. It sounded just like a rhyming story with so much vivid descriptions, I love the story too, it was good. Your way of writing is quite good.

    This WAS good, even if u don't think so. i think it improved throughout, i don't know why but i have something against "porcelain" in poems cuz it's so overused on this start (that's my only criticism) however i thought the ending was so effective well done!!
