Little Cup of Death

by dollwithafrown   Dec 3, 2006


You said you were suffering in pain
And I blatantly just ignored it
I was upset at your agony
But simply refused to admit

I hated seeing you suffering
That horror in your pleading eyes
So I muted your terror-filled calls at night
And turned up the music to drown the cries

Then one morning I knocked on your door
And you simply didn't open up
So I slowly pushed the door out wide
To find a clear plain plastic cup

Lying on the floor, I presumed it had fallen
So I picked it up and something caught my eye
Five small white pills lying next to your bed
And I realised you had said "goodbye"

I rushed over to your cold body
And aimlessly began to loudly call
Your name in a cloud of unheard pleas
But my words were lost in that box of Tylenol

I cried a hoard of violent sobs
And hugged your body tight
How could I live without you near
When the skies got dark at night?

This is the outcome of ignoring a friend
Who is in trouble and pain right before you
To solve their problems they take a few pills
And leave you broken and torn right through

NOTE: This is not true. I only wrote it for a contest.

    5/5, Just amazing. And yes it is true, never ignore a friends hurt, even though theyve been hurt, cuz you never know when something is very big that has struck them. Amazing work! keep it up!.

    Can you really overdose in Tylenol? Lol.. anyway.. That was pretty good for a contest.

    The emotion was very good as was the depth. The flow, not so much. Otherwise.. good work.

    I hated seeing you suffering
    I think it would work better as 'I hated to see you suffering' ? Just a suggestion . And:

    realised = realized

    ANYWAYS . Another beautifully written poem from you . This happened to my best friend, so I could imaginee it . There was emotion and I`m glad it isn`t true .
