Ending
 Dec 2022 SelinaSharday

There is a story
In all of us.
The saddest part
Is when we let go,
And another
Writes the ending.
This is why
I hold on to you.
A short thought today...

It’s the kind of sadness where your rib cage
Contorts
And twists and
Snaps.

Depression doesn’t float through my veins
It crawls through my bones, with dagger hands
And winding movements.

I cannot breathe.

And yet there was nothing taken from me.
But then again you took everything all at once the moment you looked in my eyes, covered my mouth and forced me down.

I don’t know why your smell still lingers in my every thought.

I’m not scared anymore.
It was a set up
Really
Engineered by me
Unintentionally
But the way it turned out
So perfectly
Must have had something to do
With the Almighty
Smiling down upon me
P32
Trying to be normal made out to be a monster
Lost in the crowd found in his writing
Brothers act like strangers not talking
A sister holding a grudge never forgiven
Being right in an ugly world
Children being neglected
Uneducated opinions being spoken

i wake up each morning with myself
i fall asleep every night
with myself
I hold myself when I'm sad
and hurt myself when
i'm angry
i wipe my tears through the difficulties
and berate myself through
my failures
i love everything i hate about myself
and hate everything i love
about myself.
i'd leave me if i could, i wouldn't want to be anybody else
I was doing great,
Till you called me.
A feeling rushed which hadn't in a while,
I was doing great.

I kept staring at it,
Maybe it will ring again.
When it didn't, old memories filled me.
I was doing great.

Something told me you wanted to speak.
Something told me you didn't.
Was it for real or was it a dream,
Anyway, I was doing great

We were perfect, but the time wasn't
You were a sprinter, I was a jaywalker
We got tangled, unwilling to part
I was doing great

Everything got sidelined, like you in past
Numb feeling came back to life
But then it rang again
I was doing great

It rang and it stopped
It was surely an accident
But you called when I was dreaming of you
I was doing great

Should I write back,
If yes, the what?
Will you reply? If yes, then what?
I was doing great

You wrote me it was a fluke
I agreed to what I was told
I hoped for something else
I was doing great

It has happened before:
Us getting back.
Never worked, will not work.
I was doing great.

We decided we might consider
If stars and planets align,
If I see you again, I hope to make you mine
I was doing great

You said I can call you
Whenever I want
I am too afraid,
But I was doing great.

Going through the letters and diaries
To revisit the old days
I was smiling but the fact was
I wasn't doing great
I hate that I
can not breath
when you are around
But, ****,
you take my breath
away
