When I'm Gone

When I'm Gone

A Poem by Crystal Shriner
"

I've had a rough life, this was one of the pieces that I wrote to help save me, I did it in the moment.

"
When I'm gone will you realize what you've done to me?
The scars on my wrist screaming my pain,
When I'm gone will you see the real me?
Hoping I didn't die in vein?

When I'm gone will you blame yourself?
For not seeing through the lies?
Will you regret not seeing the pain?
Not hearing my silent cries?

When I'm gone will you blame yourself?
For my silent suicide?
Or will you walk through the school halls,
Hoping no one will see the regret you hide.

When I'm gone will you realize what you did?
How much you put me through?
With every cruel word you screamed at me,
With every little thing you do.

When I'm gone will you see it?
The pain and the tears I've cried?
When I'm gone will you regret it?
Only because your the reason I died?

When I'm gone will you see it then?
How I only wanted to get through the day,
When I'm gone will you feel it?
The sorrow from you by the grave in which I lay?

When I'm gone only you will see it then,
The shattered heart and broken wing,
That you gave me when you hurt me,
Will you wish you had done something?

You made your heart open to this write. Every heartache of your wounded heart`s well captured to this painful write... in disguise of such deep words written by you with wounds. Nice imagery, though... i`m sorry to hear `bout your heartaches given by the world.

May you soon get well! Keep writing!
