Puzzle Pieces
The room was dark
And there we sat
Hand-in-hand like the perfect couple.
The TV was on
And I didn't expect
That he would ever act this way.
I closed my eyes
Went in for one last kiss
And silently slipped out of the house.
And on the way home
I could feel my eyes
As they sucumbed to the tears that were behind them.
I thought 'I could die.'
But knew I wouldn't
And look where I am now.
I know I won't forget him
Sometimes I wish I could
But I'll always remember the boy whose hand perfectly fit mine.
There is no beauty in my eyes
My eyes grow weary from the inability to see
I slip on my glasses and sigh at the blank screen
If I were there today, would it have made a difference?
If I'll be here tomorrow, will they even notice?
I slip off my glasses and try to sleep
Hoping that tomorrow morning won't be like all the rest.
Everyday I wake up to the morning talk shows on my favorite radio station,
I creep into the bathroom
Slip on my glasses once more
And stare myself deep into the face.
To my dissapointment I see
Today is the same as yesterday
And the image in the mirror will never ever change
For today, I'm still not pretty. And I will never be.

Japanese Poem
The translation:
Suicide -
I lay on the grass
Looking into the blue sky
I search for a clue
I still love you
I wonder if you remember me.
Three months have passed.
You fall from that balcony.
Meeting with the people below.
I have so many questions.
I guess I just wasn't that important.
