You're Dead Like Everyone Else

I see you and you see me.

I try to look away, try to avoid

looking at pain.

You run up to me and force me to stare

at your empty green eyes, filled with rage

and anger.

You're my father- abusive, controlling,

evil, hated, dead.

You're my mother- vicious, blood thirsty, 

cruel, hated, dead.

You're my brother- lost, hurt, 

hated, dying, dead.

You're dead.

You shouldn't mean anything to me.

You're dead to me like my family.

You're dead to me like my friends.

You're dead to me like everyone I ever loved.

You shouldn't mean anything, you can't mean anything.

But you still do.

You haunt me in my dreams.

I see your face everywhere I go.

You live in my head.

You live in my heart.

I need to break free from this prison, from this torturous 

grasp I live in. 

But it's hard to escape your own skin, especially

when your first love lives in it.

This is so dark, twisted, almost disturbing. The emotion is very vivid, which makes it scarily real. Nicely written. Keep up the good work :)

This is beautiful, but still so dark, and relatable.. But who realy wants to hear that? Thats what everybody says about everything they read.. "Oh it's so good, it's so depressing, but I still love it, oh and so you know, I can relate." Life sucks, and it's hard.. And I don't know about you, but when I post my poems.. usually I want advice about life, and whats going on. If I cared about spelling or anythign else I would have fixed it before I posted it... I'm really sorry that you're getting the rough end of the stick. :/ The past will never leave you alone, it'll always be behind you, but you just have to make sure that it stays there. Face whatever demon it is thats following you and make it go away. You cnat change the past but you can accept it and move on. And when you do that.. Whatever the future holds will be nothing. We don't talk that much, but I know you're strong, and you can make it through and out of anything.. So never doubt that. And I know I've said this a million times but if you need to talk then I'll gladly listen. ANd I hope things get better for you Allie. (:
