Untitled - Dina Lee, sophomore

I wish you and I were still companions,

That could exchange more than silence.

Now you’re far away, While I chose to

stay, This is all due to your defiance.

I wish to inform you, “You’re selfish.”

And how you don’t deserve my pain.

My endless streams, The lucid dreams.

To you, I’m worth a grain. 

What if you were still alongside me, And

you were still a factor in my life? Yet,

our words: unspoken, A heart left

broken, You knew what you were doing

that night.

What angers inside is your choice to

comply With the thoughts stuck inside

your mind. I hope you paused, “The

pain I’ll cause.” But you willingly chose

to be blind. 

Dishonest, disloyal, disappointed in life

Still furious of what you had done. Such a

bitter heart, With words like darts. In this

game of life, death has won. 

You should’ve known to stop yourself.

But you chose to close your eyes tight.

You nudged - forward, The ground -

toward, And fell down into the night. 

It’s selfish to ask you to have stayed,

But it’s difficult to say which is

preferred: You here for a day, Or

forever away. I simply miss the way

things were. 

Bickered days, endless debates,

The desperate and helpless tears.

Give me a while To learn to resmile,

And come back with lesser fears. 

The fear of losing someone again,

One who had always been by my side. Now,

I’m over here While you’ve disappeared.

Believe me, God knows I tried. 

The pain from the guilt of what I

could’ve done. I can’t get you back

at any cost. You lived, you died,

You couldn’t survive. “Live for the

ones you’ve lost.” 

If only people could’ve met you,

Not the one afraid of society.

Confused, bruised, Abused and

used. Confident and empty of

anxiety. 

You leave much more than a “shallow
scar” And it’s truly a wretched end. But,

we live, we learn, We continue to yearn.

So, rest in peace, dear friend.
