Dear No One,

Please listen to me

Because no one else does

Don't desert me

In my time of need

Like my friends and family

And most of all

God

You're the only one I know

Who I can turn to

Now that I'm dead.



Dear No One,

Your presence is a comfort

It keeps me sheltered in the night

When no one else wants to know who I am

I listen to your silence

And draw strength from its eeriness

Because I don't want to go insane

Knowing that not even you are there

In the darkness

Where I only want to see

Those whom I love.



Dear No One,

I messed things up again today

It's a familiar theme for me

Having everything just go to hell

Because of me

I just want to escape this-

This comedy of errors

All being mine

Believing, trusting, loving

Too much

For my own good.



Dear No One,

I feel like no one today

I feel like nothing

To you or anyone else

I've sunk too far down

To see above the surface

Where everyone is holding my head down

Trying to drown me

So they don't have to deal with me

Anymore

I guess that's fine by me.



Dear No One,

I want to disappear

More than I already have

I want even you to not see me

When you open your eyes

In this lonely darkness

You've imprisoned both of us in

Where we try to take solace

In each other's company

Finding instead

That we'd rather just die.
