Wishes

yeah.. April Fool's Day turnout

The light is gone in her eyes

The depression lingers like a second skin.

She wishes to cry

but is numb from the shock.

 

The happy time ruined

She wishes to crawl in a hole.

Lie underneath the earth

until her heart heals.

 

The pain still fresh brings tears to her eyes

She wishes they'd fall.

 

She sees no reason to try

self-conscious enough until that day;

when her self-esteem shattered.

 

Talking to him

Brought a smile out.

The thought of it now

makes her cringe.

 

She learned it was a joke

Someone thought it'd be funny.

Her pain is his laughter

...happy april fools to me...

 

To learn her happiness

Was just a joke...

He asked her out, but

pretense was all it was.

 

She got a bad feeling in her chest

The nerves started before she knew.

She, sullen in her mind,

claws to escape this jail.

 

To fight the one who brought this on her

 

A guy pretending to be

Who she wanted it to be

made her dreams reality.

That was brutally honest... unfortunately some people think emotions and love are a joke until it happens to them and it will cause what comes around goes around. Nice venting poetry.

The ain still fresh brings tears to her eyes
She wishes they'd fall.

By the way forgot the "p" in pain.

Great job

It's pretty dark to be honest. The lay out of the poem is well written, comparing love and sadness, just dark.

I love the last stanza, and my favorite line in the poem is 'she, sullen in her mind, claws to escape this jail.' It's beautiful, and the topic is something everyone unfortuanetly goes through or is very close to.
