Casted

Was that version the real you?
Or just what you wanted me to see
Was it all just a role you played
Who you thought I wanted you to be

Melinda Barrett Dec 2021

Sowed

You plant ur seeds & disappear
Time again, year after year
But now that you’re no longer here
Loneliness I do not fear

Melinda Barrett Oct 2021

Undisturbed

In my sadness I stood completely still
Finally ready to release how I feel

Melinda Barrett Oct 2021

Unequipped

I wasn’t born with a door
I had to build one for myself
To keep out people like you
Who place me on a dusty shelf

Melinda Barrett Sep 2021

How many tears can you cry
How many times can you try
How many years can you lie
How many deaths can you die

Melinda Barrett Sep 2021

Remnants

Embedded deep inside my brain
Transparent memory windowpanes
I can see them but I cannot feel
It’s just the past, it wasn’t real

Melinda Barrett Jul 2021

You gave me enough space
You gave me enough time
For me to finally realize
You were never going to be mine
