All

All the times I failed
and let you down.
All the sad, angry, desperate faces
I've seen you wear.
All the lives we've ruined,
mostly our own.
All the pins I feel
in my skin and yours.
All the hate raged upon me
while you stared blankly.
All the love I feel
for you, but not me.
All the nights I didn't sleep
because the tears wouldn't stop.
All the secrets I hold
hidden in the folds of my fat.
All the actions you've inflicted
weigh me down.
My heart hurts, torn apart
from all of you.

The "you" mentioned in this poem is a combined person of many people in my life: Integrity, Red Delicious, practically everyone I know from my old school. Different lines are different people who mean different things to me. But above all, I love them.
