Tears
Red hot with bitterness
Slip down my face
Like they were friends
Telling secrets
Frequently enough so that
I would know
Everything.
And I can hear the
Days shattering
And I can see the light
Leaving my eyes
And it burns like a bare foot
On pavement directly in
The summer's sun.
And I can feel the coldness
Wrapping me up,
Trying to calm me down
But I shake it off
Even though I'm not sure how I
Can do this by myself
If I can even hope to do this by myself
And I've decided what I need is a hero
But I'm not to sure one will come for me
So I stand shaking
Body aching
Reach my hand to my face and
Wipe away my own
Tears

Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm loosing my mind, loosing my mind, loosing control
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I,
I should have found by now
And so I run now to the things
They say could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa...
-Cough Syrup - The Young Giant
I just wish I knew what to do.

This is absolutely stunning! I like the metaphor with the pavement, it's odd and brilliant. I love the ending, it leaves you out of breath in a way I haven't seen in a long time among poems. You are a very talented writer!
At the other hand, I'm so terrible sorry you have to go through this, by yourself. I wish I could be there to comfort you, but I can't. But this is time for you to learn how to stand tall even when it get's far too hard. When the tears stream far too often. When you have learned how to love yourself and take of yourself this will turn and life will show you the other cheek. You were given this life 'cause you're strong enough to live it, this happens for a reason. I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it will be worth it. You wont have to do it on your own forever, but 'till then, you will gain strength to do it on your own. And I know you can do it, 'cause you are a strong and wonderful person.
Just hope you feel better soon.
