A simple poem about a friendship recently ended. |
Hollow as the walls that surround me I am dead inside I wish you could see I really tried Denial and bottled feelings I held on too long Faintly painted as these ceilings I don't quite belong Did you not notice? The words we spoke Were shallow as the deep seas Perhaps no more than a joke Dark as night I have become I'm not quite right Actually, I am really quite numb You think because you shine Still with the sun That I am fine? You are not the only one Our feelings are not on queue My heart is not to be synchronized And torn askew I am not a machine I cry when tears edge their way I laugh when amused I fall into deep depression when I know I'm not okay And I am at complete peace when I hide in this room I know you say that you, too, are broken And maybe you are But now I have spoken And you still seem so far I need a break from this Stop trying to figure me out You'll never fix what has gone amiss This I need to do without You Yell if you'd like Scream in my face But no longer are we alike Some things you cant replace Once we were close Sisters, even, And no one knows What Ill be leaving I'm sorry to you Didn't want it to end like this But I would only be untrue If I did not stop the charade now Hate me for what Ive done Hate me for what Ive become But for me, the hard times have only begun And I must run from You |
