girl next door by *kissedbyavampire:iconkissedbyavampire:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Spoken Word


I am your
girl next door,
the one who watches for
falling stars every summer night;
who lets the rain hit her face;
who sings at the top of her lungs,
even if her voice cracks;
who still believes in fairies.

I was the daughter he never had

I was the friend who saved her mind


I was the stranger who dared to hug him back

I was the unseen shadow behind, making sure she got home safe


And I,
I am the girl
who was eventually ignored

I am the friend
whose trust she betrayed

I was the stranger
whose heart was crushed

I was the unseen shadow
who seems more like a hindrance to her
than a sister


I am the friend, yes
whose trust she betrayed
whose eyelids are drooping
and edges are frayed.

I have no idea where this one came from. I'm not in a bad mood at all, which is where most of my sad poetry comes from.

Every piece of lit is about the human experience, darling. Does that answer your question?

I was thinking of continuing, through the eyes of different characters and real people n' shit. We'll see. I thought this one up as I was working.

I wasn't trying to be patronizing, just trying to answer without answering.

I don't think you're dumb

Why thank you!

All I write is really sad poetry (there are some fun ones, though) <3
