This isn't a poem, it's actually a drabble I wrote for fanfiction, but it turned out pretty good, so here you go...
10 Ways She's Gone
1
She doesn’t pay attention when people are talking anymore…blank stares are all it takes.
2
Teachers are starting to get irritated when they discover her staring out the window, oblivious to what is going on in class.
3
Her friends want to know what’s going on, but she hides from them, and always seems to be in another world.
4
She locks herself in the bathroom and loses herself, tearing her skin apart by running the blade slowly over it.
5
She disappears into the crowd, swathing herself in black, trying not to be seen.
6
Her hair hangs in a curtain over her face, black as night, hiding her from unwelcome stares.
7
When she sleeps, the look on her face is one of such pain that people wonder what nightmares she is having.
8
Day by day she loses friends, and day by day she loses herself.
9
She hung herself yesterday.
10
She was so far gone that it hardly made a difference.
