i was a ray of sunshine in your life but you chose to board up your windows
-
was my light too bright for you?
did you get burned?

‪deleted you from my phone and my life‬
‪but still can’t delete you from my heart and my mind‬

You know my name but not my story

You see my face but not my soul

You feel my skin but not my scars

You hear my voice but not my pleas

You only want the untainted parts of me.

But my dear,
haven’t you heard ?

The moon only glows so bright because she lives in the dark

You shouldn’t have come if leaving was all you had in mind

I dreamt again last night
Of that same old treacherous place
From my childhood of course
That torments me way too often
In my sleep
In my waking
The constant feeling
Of fear
Of disappointment
Of loneliness?
I suppose.
There’s no escape even in slumber
I’d say it’s much worse
For it’s then that I hear the silent scream
That I keep buried in the light of day
