      Poems For The Broken - Ariel Lynn Gill

      Friend

      I need your help,

      but where are you,

      nowhere to be found,

      not even a sound,

      I'm slowly breaking down,

      this pain is to real,

      this hurt will never heal,

      all I ask,

      is for you,

      not to miss,

      me when I'm gone,

      you aren't there,

      where I need you,

      so now I must go,

      and leave you,

      the pain will fade,

      and you will know,

      a pain of your own,

      so don't miss me now,

      and don't ask how,

      you had your chance,

      now is my last dance,

      goodbye I whisper,

      the night is all that hears,

      for you were nowhere,

      to be found,

      now they will lay me down,

      deep in the ground.

      A Silent Plea

      As the blood pours,

      there's a knock on her door,

      she doesn't answer,

      so they knock once more,

      all they hear is a silent plea,

      a silent little scream,

      she tried to cover it up,

      tried to hide it,

      but it was to late,

      they had already seen,

      so they began to scream,

      for the girl with the silent plea,

      was lying on the floor,

      watching as they saw her bleed,

      the blood continually flowed,

      it was now a show,

      as she lay bleeding out,

      they couldn't help but pout,

      for they did nothing,

      in all her struggle,

      to help her survive,

      they might as well have let her die,

      so as she lay bleeding to her death,

      no one was willing to take that helping step,

      now as they bury the sweet little girl,

      they'll never understand why she was so lost in this world.

      Lay me down

      Lay me down,

      lay me down,

      in a place

      I can never be found,

      lay me down,

      lay me down,

      before I start

      to drown,

      lay me down,

      lay me down,

      let my soul weep,

      lay me down,

      lay me down,

      before I finally

      break down,

      lay me down

      to breathe,

      lay me down

      to grieve,

      lay me down,

      for its time,

      my part is through,

      its time,

      its time to lay me down,

      for my final rest,

      lay me down,

      for I dare not take another step.

      Free

      She lays on the floor,

      the knife by her side,

      she couldn't take,

      another second of this life.

      It was easy for her,

      she's finally free,

      free from the pain,

      free from the hate,

      free from the cruelty,

      free from all of it.

      No one understands,

      why she took her life,

      but they never saw,

      when she cried all through the nights.

      She was falling apart more and more,

      until finally she just,

      had to give up.

      So it was easy for her.

      Now she's finally free.

      No More Tears

      She sits in the corner of her room

      They have no idea

      They can't see her pain and hidden fear

      She’s so tired of all the tears

      She can't figure it out

      She says she can't take it

      She falls into an endless pit

      She’s depressed and broken

      No one can tell

      She screams out for help

      No one heard her

      Not once did they

      So she makes a promise

      After these tears no more

      She pulls out her best friend

      A sliver little blade

      She says goodbye And kisses her life Goodnight.

      Safe

      Just a broken little girl

      trapped in this world

      looking for an escape

      just can't get away from her fate

      falling apart

      scared and lost

      not sure where to turn

      only one place to run

      she’s safe in your arms

      so hold her tight

      all through this cold night

      don’t
