Do you know what it's like to feel like you've been through hell? Do you know what it's like to have no one to tell? Have you watched someone else struggle through life, have you seen it happen to one who can't handle the strife? Well i have. I've been there, i've seen it, but i still can't help her, it's true. i can't help the gurl, that's going there too. i've been through the night with nothing to hold onto, no handle. I've been through the dark with out a guide, no candle. I've walked the same path she's walking, i've felt the same ghosts, behind me....stalking. But i still didn't help her, why??¿ I still didn't help her decide not to die. If i would have paid attention, instead of pushing her away Maybe we'd have been good friends today. But i just shunned her, because society told me to. They whispered in my ear she's not good enough for you, she's a skank, a liar, a slut, and a freak. She's not the kind of person who has the right to speak. And like a child i listened, i let them pull me in. I was just another preppy girl, with a socialite grin. Only interested in what others thought, i didn't have the time for her, she was just "NOT". We grew apart, and a few years later i find, i should have been brave enough to be kind. She tried to kill herself, she slit her wrists, but she didn't die. She's still left on this earth just like me, left here to cry. I never knew, what she was going through, i was going through it too. And now, even though she's still alive, we will never be friends, i lost my chance with her LONG ago, this kind of cut never mends. I think i could have helped her, i think i could have tried, maybe it would be better if she really had died. You don't know what it's like to feel this guilty, it makes you feel like shriveling up and wilting. To know that maybe you could have helped someone like that, but it never works, we never try, and that's why so many people die. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is a repost from the corner pub....thought i'd start posting a few of my "darker" poems in here,figured ya'll might appreciate it more =P And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

~Tis so true. We are only human and you seem to have another chance here. Reach out to her...perhaps you could help eachother. I loved the part "I should have been brave enough to be kind"......that's all it takes sometimes. Thanks for posting such a great poem. |

Swamp, I guess we all have our guilt. But we can't live hind sight, we can learn, but not live, you can't walk backwards and not expect to hit something again as bad. I like the poem, and the heartfelt essence. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
