The weekend has ended,
there have been prequels
there will be sequels,

time slips
the tide rolls in
the seagulls eat chips
not much changes.

Did you sleep well?
I did,
under the duvet and
hid from the monsters that
hide under the cover of darkness.

I expect
that one day when the monsters
have gone away
I shall find
that
they were all in my mind,
they're probably
in your mind too
and
there's nothing to worry about.

So many poems
and stories
have gone unwritten
due to fear of not being good enough
I know
You care about me
10 more people do
Yet I can't get rid
Of this feeling
Of doom

I know
I have you
10 more people too
Yet I can't find a person
To talk to
late at night

You said you

were made to

swim free;

but, my darling

I'm a harbor not

the sea..

You asked
What is the scariest part?

I answer
The scariest part
is not the feeling of loneliness
or the darkness that fills you
despite the looming pain
of emptiness

The scariest part
is the realization  
that you have lost yourself
completely
sinking in as you lay awake
at 2 AM
because you lost the ability to sleep
and you can't even cry
because you don't even care

My heart feels like
it's about to shut down
from all the truths
that only I know

People view me
as kind
selfless
heartfelt
with empathy

Yet once they witness
my darker side
this inner demon
that is always
a few steps behind me

Once they see
the ashes and smeared blood
tainted within my mind andĀ heart

I am once again alone
alone to pick up the piecesĀ 
of a love that never was
