My old words, I left unsaid

Thanksgiving
jǫrð Nov 2020
Thanked me for flowers
Printed across my breast, Odd
You're welcome I guess
The History: It's the busiest time of the year. I wore my favorite shirt today. You pointed it out and even thanked me for it; which perked my ears. Freud is blushing somewhere.

Little thing that no longer
Kept your attention
The History: I woke today, feeling discarded and unwanted by everyone in my life. I reach out to them and they take a step back. Apparently I will never be happy....And as I type this, you looked at me like you cared at all for the first time all day.

Virginia
jǫrð Mar 29
It was March 28, when I last cried
& the name Virginia Woolf came to mind
So I typed her name into my search bar to find
It was the day she had died

I studied the note she left behind
and what I saw I could not deny
How closely she and I
Could be in time
The History: In Virginia's suicide letter to her husband, she wrote how happy she had been to have him in her life, and how if anyone could have saved her it would have been him. She said of her suicide, "So I am doing what seems the best thing to do." Rather than continue without being able to concentrate, hearing voices, struggling with her mental illness, she objectively took the opportunity to leave this world.

A song that played inside and
Kept me occupied
