um...it hurts letting go. This is dedicated to a friend who shot himself, out of depression. Everyone said it's because he was tried of heart-break. I think it's because we we're all so stupid and ignored his aching heart....Blair i'm so sorry

Rose isnt the only red

Roses are no longer my brightest red,

You just sat by and watched while I bleed.

Saying “all this shit is just in my head”,

To realize I knew the truth was what you truly dread.

 

I loved you gingerly,

You loved controlling me.

I’ve fallen so deep, I just can’t leave.

You’ll have me as long as I continue to breathe.

 

I’ve finally swallowed all my tears,

But your face is still…my greatest fear.

The image of the monster you are is oh so clear.

 

I wanted you to be my first, not last

But I gave away to the cold steel blast.

Now the pages of your paper heart

Are painted in regret, the eternal art.

Andrew ...Such a sad tale you have penned here. Depression is a serious disease and it kills. I have 4 poems dealing with this subject that I wrote as a plea of awareness. If you'd like to check them out - they are.... Maybe Tomorrow, On The Cliff's Edge, In My Desperate Hour, and In A Blink Of An Eye. You have amazing insight for someone so young. Keep up the good work! :)
