and
i don't know
if this is me
just overreacting,
but
the only reason it scares me
when the wind causes my bedroom door to slam shut,
is because
i'm deeply afraid
that
i'll get used to the sound of people leaving.
When a hollow feeling fills my body
And I'm getting stuck in my head again
Unwanted emotions show their ugly heads
And cries for help are about to spill from my lips

I just poison my lungs some more
Take another zip
Swallow another pill
And I'm fine
You make my heart throb
my hands tremble
eyes sting
and
anger rise

You thought this was a poem for my love?
You are half right
Mama mama i dont know what is going on
You left me on the street
Someone found me
Someone passed me on
Someone cared for me
Someone gave me to a big house

Mama mama there are others like me here
But I don't now where they're from
I dont know who they are
I dont know if they have names
I don't why I'm here

Mama mama some strange looking people are here
They gave me a name
They gave me food
They gave me clothes

Mama mama they come to take me away
Away from this city
Away from this counter
Away from you

Mama mama where are you?
Why did you leave me?
Why am I without you?

Mama mama, I feel so alone
I have no real mother,
To call as my own.
Hello father,
Hello mother,
Do you know how I feel?

Hello brother,
Do you still care for me?

Hello best friend,
Hello old friend,
Do you still want to be with me?

Hello boy,
Hello special one,
Do you still remember me?
You will not see the smile turning upside down/You will see just a smile waver at the corners of my mouth

You will not hear my screams of despair/You will only hear a fake laugh

You will not see  my fist slammed into a wall in anger/You will see a small gesture. A wave, nod or shrug

You will not hear my begs and pleas for explanation/You will hear nothing

You will not see my tears filled with pain and fear/You will see tired eyes looking for rest
How dare you do this to me?
Reopening the wound on my heart
That you had made there and
That I had to mend on my own

How dare you give me these careless words?
That make me feel so conflicted
That make me ache
That make me loose my sanity

How dare you force this door open?
When I thought I locked it down?

How dare you do this to me?
When I thought I was over you.
