*Lucky Stars*

By dlb

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Stars on my pillows Stars in her eyes Emptiness in my heart She doesn't show surprise Candy pink and sweet Candy in her hand Somewhere I am screaming In a far and distant land Butterflies in summer Butterflies in rain She only stops to stare and smile as I slowly go insane Shaking like a leaf Shaking her blond curls Pretending that I fit in With all the other girls Mocking only shadows Mocking my own face I listen to their laughter and hang my head low in disgrace Skipping rope at recess Skipping every class Hoping that this nauseous state Will soon and blankly pass Sitting in her bed at night Sitting on the ground Praying that what I am about to do Doesn't make a sound Stars in the heavens Stars that now are lies With this gun at my head I'll now say my good-byes.1998, Written November 9th, 2001 © on Nov 09 2001 09:26 AM PST   0 • 1
