I am my own BULLY

You hit me with your words,

So painful I could cry,

Sometimes I feel like I should die.

Your words persuade me,

Taunting me to do bad things,

I say this can’t be.

But you tell me not to disagree.

You trick me with your lies

As I try to swat them like flies.

One good blow,

I’m down,

Another blow,

I become unconscious

Eyes of Death  

I see your pain through those eyes.

They tell me your story,

They show me your pain

and other people’s glory.

I sit and watch,

As they tear through your skin.

Scratching at the doors

Of your conscience waiting to be let in.

I sit and wonder why you did it.

Was it because I let them in?

How was I suppose to know,

You thought it was the only way?

I thought you were joking,

I thought you would stay.

Why do I get blamed for their foul play?

I saw you in the hall

Crying on the floor.

I ask if you were okay.

You stared at me

Then back at the floor.

You wiped your tears,

Then pushed me away

Hoping I would stay

But I just walked away.

With nothing to say,

Your eyes grow dull,

With every depressing day,

Not knowing that you died that day.

365 days go by and I ask myself,

“if I had stayed would you still be mine?”
