Tragic Teenage Heartbreak

Force a smile,
Blink away the tears.
She stares blankly in the mirror,
Time to get through another day.
As she talks with her friends,
She fakes a laugh and a grin.
No one can see past her smile,
And into her eyes so full of sorrow.
Every night she curls up and cries,
She'll take a razor to her wrists..
This girl really wants to die.

Bloody rags are scattered all over her room,
Hidden away in places so her parents won't see.
Whenever her mom walks by,
She smiles and tugs down her sleeve.
Mommy didn't need to see the scars,
She'd think her daughter was crazy.

"I miss him..", she'll whisper in her sleep,
His face constantly haunting her dreams.
Why live life without him?
That's an unsolved mystery.
He has moved on with life,
So she can too, right?
It's easier said then done,
Hearts are so difficult to unbreak.

The line has been crossed,
Gonna show him who's wrong.
Partying all through the night,
Drinking away a miserable life.
She meets new people,
But none compare to him.
Desperately wanting to be loved,
She starts going to extremes.

Sleeping around daily,
A different guy each night,
At least until the pregnancy.
Her and her mom cried,
Clueless on the father's face.
Three months into the pregnancy,
The poor girl lost her baby.
She was shoved down a flight of stairs,
By her ex-best friend.

Starting to shoot up heroine,
She keeps thinking,"Life is over.."
The tears keep streaming,
While her life slowly falls apart.
As she let her last tears fall,
She hung from the ceiling by a rope.

I wrote this because I was upset with my boyfriend. It just started out as a depression poem then turned into a girl's life going downhill and commiting suicide.. don't worry, this has nothing to do with me! I hope you all like it =)
