you killed me
with your

invisible knife

©IGMS
you never meant to hurt me
but I swear you're a murderer of heart.
Saige Lakeman Oct 2015
My chest echos with the same heartbeat yours does,
except every beat my heart makes is a cruel reminder that every life has an end,
and our bodies depend on an internal clock,
wasting seconds everyday,
passing time slowly until the day the echos stop,
and our minds and souls are suspended in time,
frozen for the rest of eternity.

Really?
I try to help the best I can,
But I've come to realize I'll never be good enough,
You watch them quietly admiring them from a distance,
Meanwhile I sit here,
Lonely,
And you sit there,
Lonely,
And you refuse to sit with me because I'm not them.
Really?

Jesus is good,
People will die in the name of god,
Only to burn deep down for their sins
but the Devil is bad,
but somehow they both,
make me equally sad,
Where's the relief?
The salvation?
The bright light?
If the good don't get to their paradise,
Then do the bad get punished?
And are the good saved?
I just don't know anymore
You don’t need a gun
to be shot.
I know this
       because the morning after
you left, I found a bullet hole in my chest,
that sadness from that Sunday overflowed to
    massive amounts of
pain in Monday’s mayhem.
The next thing I knew,
I had blood trickling from the
stab wounds in my back.
My weakness on Wednesday echoed the
      innocence of my thoughts;
you don’t need a knife to be
   stabbed.
The flashbacks on Friday were bearable
until my skin started to peal from the burn
during the sunset on Saturday night.
The warmth reminded me of the butterflies that used to flood my stomach when you smiled.
But they’re gone now
just like the warmth of your touch on my skin that’s
now just a bare surface.
I guess you don’t need fire to burn either.
The bullet hole will close, the stab
wounds will heal, the skin
will grow back.
The morning after
I saw you with her
I learned the biggest lesson of my life;
You don’t need water to
                                             drown.

I'm thinking again
Feeling again
Thinking too much
Feeling too much

I feel like a storm,
A hurricane,
My mind is...
Collapsing

I don't understand
But in the end,
I never have
I never will

I'm just trying to understand
Something my eyes see
That my heart doesn't
A new story,
My mind is making,
To make sense of it all
I'm existing not living

BUT YOU HAVE TO STOP TELLING PEOPLE,
THAT NO ONE WILL LOVE THEM UNTIL THEY START LOVING THEMSELVES.
YOU HAVE TO STOP PLANTING THIS IDEA IN PEOPLES BRAINS THAT THEY ARE UNWORTHY OF LOVE,
JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN STRUGGLE.
