"Not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R Tolkien


Why'd I live
When you died
You were going places
When I stopped

Manipulating smiles
Tears on my cheeks
Your betraying innocence
Kills me

Let me join you
Stop pushing me down
Your invisible hand on my shoulder
Gripping ever tighter

Scars mark
your otherwise perfect face
Dauntingly tall
You had to end it all

You lied till the end
Covering it up with your laughter
I fell for your tricks
And I was happy

You looked so normal
Lying there in a white room
Uncomfortably pale
But so real that I touched your arm to feel your warmth

Please don't leave me
I can barely remember your voice
Your looks
Even though I just saw you
