A/N: So this was the first type of peotry I tried and I hope it's ok. As usual I own nothing.

Paige

They all think they know me,
But they will never really see.
They can never understand
What it is like to be me.

My whole life here is one big lie,
I live behind a mask.
A mask that never fails to show
A life that is lived for this one task.

I show them what they want to see;
Fake laughter, joy and smiles.
Pretending we’re a happy family,
Crying inwardly all the while.

They don’t see the dark side;
The silent tears hidden in the night.
The depression, the fear, the loneliness,
All hidden from plain sight.

Piper thinks she’s got me down,
But she hasn’t got a clue.
She’ll never know the feeling
Of filling someone else’s shoes.

Phoebe tries to understand,
But she can never know,
All the feelings that I hold inside
That make me sink so low.

Leo is the only one
Who could ever almost see.
He was the one who kept me sane
When I found my family.

They say they really love me,
But I don’t think they can.
How can you really love somebody,
If it’s them you don’t understand?

But right now I’m feeling helpless,
The mask begins to slip.
I need their help, their love and comfort,
As my world begins to dip.

I think I’ll open up to them,
Let them know how I really feel.
They deserve that after all they’ve done for me,
And then we can all begin to heal.

Piper

Everybody’s disappeared
And I’m left all alone.
My husband gone, big sister dead,
Little one’s leaving home.

They are all asking me
But I will never say
That I’m feeling lonely or upset,
Though I feel it every day.

The manor seems so empty
When I’m here all on my own.
I miss the shouts, even the fights
The constant ringing of the phone.

I realize just how much I need them,
Only when they’re not around.
I wish that I could tell them so,
And get my feet back on the ground.

I don’t know why it had to be this way,
And why they had to go.
I don’t know why I miss them this much,
And my fears continue to grow.

I’m scared that they will leave me,
Just like everybody else.
I’m scared that I’ll wake one day to find,
That I’m alone and by myself.

I’m afraid that I don’t make a difference;
That I have no purpose at all.
I’m afraid that I’ll be the next to go;
That I’ll be the next of us to fall.

I’m scared that none of this is real;
That it’s all here in my head.
I’m scared nobody would care
Or even notice if I was dead.

I need them to come back to me,
But I won’t ever ask for those.
They need their lives, just as I need mine;
And that’s the way life goes.

Prue:

I watch my family from afar,
But they’ll never know I do.
They don’t see me calling for them
And I can’t ask them to.

They talk to me occasionally,
But they don’t think I hear.
How can they not know,
Their speech is all I hold dear?

I want to know my baby sister,
Just want to talk to her.
And yet it’s all impossible
To Paige I’m just a blur.

Piper wants to see me soon,
I know deep in my heart.
But she lingers too much on the day
That we were forced to part.

Phoebe thinks they’re not as strong
As when I was around.
But I can see the truth and know
That with me they were bound.

Leo comes to talk to me,
Visits me once in a while.
He acts happy but it’s not real;
His eyes betray his smile.

I hover so close to my family,
That I could reach to touch them.
But my hands pass straight through their bodies
Frustrating me beyond reason.

I sit on Piper’s bed in the morning,
I accompany Phoebe on shopping sprees,
I talk to Paige on her desk at work,
But none ever notice me.

I think they are beginning to move on,
I really hope that’s so.
I’ll be able to visit them as soon
As they from my death can grow.

Chris:

I wish that I could tell them,
Let them know about my fears.
I wish that they could understand,
What looms ahead so near.

I know that they don’t trust me
And they have no reason to.
I’m secretive, withdrawn, held-back,
And they don’t know what to do.

They don’t know that I’m their family.
But then, how could they know?
I can never tell them who I am,
And our relationship can’t grow.

I slipped up once,
And nearly gave away my disguise.
It almost cost the future,
As I rebuilt my web of lies.

I wish that I could talk to Piper,
Be able to call her ‘Mum’.
But she will never trust me,
So I have to remain numb.

Phoebe wants to give me a chance,
She also believes the best.
She defends me against the others;
She’s more trusting than the rest.

Paige is still suspicious,
But I think she will work it out first.
She will help Piper accept me,
Who would take my news the worst.

When I see Leo, I feel a rush of anger.
Though I know no one else would agree.
I see him nursing Wyatt and think:
What was wrong with me?

Maybe one day they’ll understand,
Though I don’t expect them to.
I wish I’d have their support though,
In whatever it is I do.

Leo

Everybody talks to me
Wanting help with their life.
They take my advice for granted
But they don’t understand my strife.

I’m their Whitelighter
And helping is what I do.
It’s my job to make sure they’re ok,
But sometimes I need help too.

I want someone to talk to
About my worries and my fears.
But I can’t turn to anyone;
I have to hide my tears.

Nobody understands,
That sometimes I’m upset.
They think my life is easy,
But they don’t know how hard it gets.

They don’t understand
That I have problems in my life;
I worry about my destiny,
My sisters and my wife.

I hate to see them suffering
For reasons, there are two.
One, I feel their pain inside me,
Almost as much as they do.

The other reason is the Elders,
Who don’t like things to go wrong.
When the sisters are upset it’s my fault,
And my punishment is strong.

They threaten to take away my powers,
Or to strip my body from my soul.
If I don’t fix matters quickly,
I know I’ll never grow old.

I never tell anybody,
But live with the constant fear.
Just once I’d like to know the bliss,
Of a peaceful life so clear.
