You were just like a dream,
             Too short,
Too beautiful,
         Too good to be real.

And now I'm here, alone in this nightmare.
Emma Slootmans Feb 2018
She got lost in his forest,
        She could not escape.
Stuck in his mind,
       Strangled in his thoughts,

Wondering where the way out had gone.

What if second were stopped from ticking by,
and time was just a number,

If loves ones would never die,
Leaving me alone so somber.

If we could hold on to the happy moments,
and push the pain away.

Would this world be full of life and colour,
Instead of being grey?

When we met, I talked.
          When we fought, I yelled.
When we loved, I whispered.
          But when you left, I remained silent.
Emma Slootmans Feb 2018
I guess, in the end,
           you and I are nothing more than a memory.
Covered in dust.
            Left to be forgotten.
Emma Slootmans Feb 2018
Our mouths full of unspoken words.
          Words I should have told you before you were gone.
Leaving me in this ocean of silence,
                  slowly drowning myself to death.

— The End —
