F Just another human writing poetry about life…
I’m scared to give you my heart, To let the walls come down. Afraid everything will crumble beneath me, And I’ll be left for dead. Forced to drag myself back Through broken glass, Bleeding from wounds Cut deep into my heart. I know I can survive, Bring myself out of the dark. But I don’t want to. I’ve done it so many times— Wanting to be loved, Only to become an afterthought. And that’s why I’m terrified to let you in.

Afterthought
I’m going through the house Pulling your stuff into piles Realizing how little you had And how much space you took up So much weight left behind for someone so empty I let you take over everything It all revolved around you If you didn’t like it, it had to go But if I like it, it didn’t matter You took pieces of me That I’ll never get back And gave them away To people who wanted more Now the house feels empty And for the first time I don’t feel empty

Clinging to the Empty
I don’t have to bury myself anymore To fill the room with someone else To wait around Only to ask for permission to do Something that I want to do I can break these walls down And decorate how I want I can rebuild What was once destroyed I can keep moving forward Instead of sitting in place It will take time though This I am aware of Because if I want to Acquire what I desire I must take one step at a time And rebuild from the ground up Build a castle And protect what is mine

“You’re Mine” That’s what you said As you forced me to look at you Fear That’s what I felt How do I move on from that I told you that you couldn’t control me And it was like you got more upset You said you knew you couldn’t But your eyes said you wanted to You kept saying you knew you hurt me And I said everything just keeps piling up I’m overwhelmed I keep telling you this I say I need help And you lay down Calling me a narcissist When all I wanted was to be loved That’s all I’ve wanted To be loved

Mine
You came here Shattered my mind Broke up my barrier And forcefully tore my walls down Saying how sorry you were Kissing my face over and over While I froze in shock You weren’t supposed to be here I told you not to come That I wanted to think To build a plan You just showed up No warning Like I was just going to give in You acted like I was the problem Saying I don’t know what you think about And you don’t know what I think about Said you’ve been thinking about the good times And how we needed to think about the kids In my head I was shouting “I am” That’s why I needed to think You acting like I don’t care about them When they’re all I’m thinking about How I’ve put them through all this How hurt they are that you’re gone They ask about you too And every time I feel like breaking down Until I remember Everything you’ve done and that I can’t break, because of them I’m trying to build a new life Breaking generational cycles

Fight or Flight
You won’t even look my way And somehow that still hurts I thought I’d be over it Over you But I can’t wrap my head around why Why you did the things you did Why you left When all I asked for Was help Now I’m stuck carrying everything While you just get to be I’m fighting for air In a room that keeps shrinking Walls pressing closer Every time I try to speak I just wanted to talk To figure it out But you decided for me That we were done

Still Hurts
You’re gone now And somehow The air is lighter But the tears still linger— never falling out I thought for sure you’d beg to stay Instead you just stood there, a sad puppy dog I slowed down And now I sit with my thoughts in the dark

In the Dark
No I’m not fine Just want to get away I could really use some wine But sober is the way I stay I lay listening to music I hate For no other reason Than to try to find my fate While I watch angels fall season after season Yet I want to get up there Not scared to crash down anymore Because not many do care Maybe I should just close the door To my heart and mind Nobody would try to come find me Since there’s not much to find

Angels Fall
You’ve been asking me questions Things I just don’t understand Pretending it feels like, checking in You’ve never done it before so why now Why do you pretend to act like you care When you really don’t At least that’s what I keep thinking Because when I tell you something You just say “okay” I say I’m feeling down And your reply is just “ok” You never checked in before Just went on about your day Now I’m saying I’m done Done choosing you over me And suddenly You seem to “care” It doesn’t feel real Your energy is still suffocating Feels like I’m being pressed down Holding me down Face squashed into the floor

Another okay
You haven’t talked Said a single word I’ve been gone the whole day So what’s even the point Just thinking brings me to tears Don’t wanna go home To the energy you carry with you I feel so ******* empty My head is killing me On edge This anxiety suffocating Having to disassociate Just to not think Of how much pain I’m in Brain keeps going empty Every time I try to think Of what to say to you
