Death Certificate

"Do you remember when we were best friends? When we'd share our every thought? Every smile? And every laugh? Oh, and did you remember when you broke my heart? Because I seem to remember that more than anything. I trusted you, I trusted you to take care of my heart.I trusted you not to take it and stomp on it.
I wished on every
Fallen eye lash,
I wished on
Every star,
But it seems
Like every time I try
I gain just one
More scar.
I can’t take your pity.
You don’t have
To forgive me
For my sins.
The only thing
I ask of you
Is can you please,
Just be my friend.
You are no better
Than me or them.
We are all the same.
But when your knife
Is in my back,
Is the only time
You’re content.
You shout harsh words,
But we’re the same.
You hurt,
Just like me.
And when you’re hurt,
You bleed.
I bleed for you.
You never knew.
You were caught up
In your own
little games,
and you wouldn’t
even listen
when I said,
“My soul died
That night.”
You wonder what
Happened.
Why can’t I speak?
Because all your
Words were hurtful,
And when I hurt
I bleed.
But you don’t
Understand,
The scars are
Making me weak.
I can’t take your pity.
You don’t have
To forgive me
For my sins.
The only thing
I ask of you
Is can you please,
Just be my friend.
I’m lying
In the darkness.
You’re hiding
From yourself.
If you were
My friend,
You never would
Have left me
On the shelf.
The tears I shed
Are for the ones
You’ve failed.
Their not only mine,
It’s them as well.
Your family.
Your friends.
And you.
I tried to help you
Break down the wall,
But every chance
You watched me fall.
I wished on every
Fallen eye lash,
I wished on
Every star,
But it seems
Like every time I try
I gain just one
More scar.
I’ll be waiting
In the darkest corner.
When you finally
Realize who you are.
While you are out there
Living your life
Just remember
My soul
Died that night.
Give it some time
Yours is on it’s way.
And as you’re
Slowly trying
To salvage the remains.
I’ll be waiting,
While I’m
Filling out your
Death certificate.
