Black Ink

A tear smears my cheek,
But by the way they look at me,
I swear its a drop of black ink,
instead of salty water.
Black ink stains.
I turn away.
I curl up and turn away.
I scratch at my cheeks.
I wasn't crying
How can they tell?
Scrub; Scratch.
Fake a Smile.
Someone asks me a question.
I choke,
my mouth won't move,
myself frozen.
I turn away.
I curl up and turn away.
Why do they look at me like that?
I thought girls were supposed to cry.

They ask me again.
My mouth opens....
no sound comes out...
my hand moves...
Sarah, what are you trying to say?
A drop of Black ink stains my face.
They just stare.
"People should be happy
I can't take pills,
cus then,
I can't overdose.
But they should be scared,
that I'll choke to death on them."
I look into my mirror.
I see the event.
"Please don't talk about it
if you do I shall cry."
Why don't you take a Midol?
Why don't you shut up?
Why're you on my case?
Sarah, why are you being a bitch?
I'm not,
I'm being myself,
sorry if I look out for myself and others.

A tear rolls down my cheek,
I mutter,
"Black ink smears the page"
I know she's mad at me.
Sarah, what's wrong?
Why're you sitting here by yourself?
I'm reading.
Cus no one likes me.
Sarah?
Go away, or I shall cry.
Mike's Poem
(in the process of finding)
A Poem for Levon

Whenever you feel the need,
and I'm as distant as that star...
Know deep inside,
I'm never really that far.

I know how you are.
And I know you're insecure.
Take cover under my angel wings;
I'll guard you 'til you're sure.

Don't go looking,
for me.
Either when you're in heaven,
or the stars are falling into the sea.

I know where you are,
and I'll be there soon.
I'll come quick,
just keep watching the moon.
A Poem for Elliot

I was set upon heaven
my own place among the stars.
Some people gawking,
whatever could I be;
Other people ignoring me,
my existence blown away.

I fell-
sloppy, leaving a streak,
like white paint,
on the navy sky.
Not far below was the sea.
Sharp edges
Sharp teeth
the thought of a pang
as water fills you lungs.

I look back to my heavens.
I pray, God,
send me an angel
to watch and take care of me.
Suddenly, I was flying safely!

Looking over
I saw his face.
I'd survive this crash.
I cling tight.
Guardian.
Flew me back to safety,
brought me back home.


Hours we spent talking
cuddled up on a cloud.
The next thing I knew,
I was waking up alone.
Nothing had changed.
But a great pain lay in my heart.
Where's my angel?

I got up
took a step
Where's my angel?
'Lo!
There he be!
Behold my angel
flying down to me!

I'm wrapped up tight.
I'm home in his arms and wings...

Why would I leave you?
You're my lucky star.

A smile plays my lips,
I know now
you'd never do such,
afterall,
you're my angel, now.
