Where once
There was laughter
Silence is deafening

Don't pretend
that you were trying
to save me when
you were the one
who let me
drown.

You're nothing but a jester
exploiting me to win my crown.
Exploiting: To use (a situation or person) in an unfair or selfish way.

You are near,
Even when I don't
see you.
You will always be with me,
even when you
are far away.

People don't share,
They don't even care,
It just isn't fair
that they can't spare,
I was unaware,
I didn't prepare,
So I'll just be square,
This is a nightmare.

Please don't lock the door,
I know that you're at war,
But let me in and share,
I really do care.
she needed you last night
as much as she needed air
because she’s afraid as hell.
she was so afraid
that she didn’t want to close her eyes
in spite of the sleepiness she feels
because if she does,
the darkness would come in
and swallow her.
What it feels like to be scared with no one to help you.

You remind me of the scent of fresh, green grass and rich lavender bushes
Which fills my early days,
Days of precious child-like wonder,
Before the insecurity of a broken home and dysfunction became the norm.
