We want her

We watch her
every day she gets a little bit sadder
slowly losing all hope
all faith in anything and everything she ever believed in.
The pills don’t help her
and when she takes too many they hurt her
we tell her we love her
yet she feels so alone?
we’re always there for her
we want to make her our own
we don’t hurt her
but oh, how we want her
so one day maybe
we will take her
a blade to the flesh
one too many pills on her breath
some tears on the cheek
now it won’t be long
soon she will be ours
waiting in angst
we know we will have her
we will keep her close
but allow her to roam
because when you are what we are
there is no place called “home”
her pain is our life
we thrive on her dread
so sometimes for fun
we like to get in her head
and make her feel things
so she will wish she was dead

This is beautiful. I can't really put my finger on why! But it really clicked with me. It started out a little dull I must admitt, just words telling a story but not inflicting much emotion, but towards the end it gets real exciting, dark and exciting. For the sake of rythm I would consider splitting this up to a few stanzas and add a little more punctuation and also, last line "were dead" should be "was dead". Other than that, BEAUTIFUL, excellent piece. I do not know if that was the intension, but for me this is mental illness described with beauty.

Thank you for a good read! If you have any questions, please PM me. Oh, and also, welcome to YWS

Good Luck & Keep Writing

"we thrive on her dread
so sometimes for fun

and make her feel things

i like these last few lines are really good. It ended this poem with a certain feel that i cant describe.


"one too many pills on her breath
some tears on the cheek
now it won’t be long
soon she will be ours"

This made me gasp a little because one of my friends aunts over dosed and had to get her stomach pumped .
