I Sit Here Trembling. (October 2010)
I sit here trembling.
Shaking uncontrollably
Waiting for your reply
Thoughts race through my mind
They can’t be tamed
They’re never ending
I can’t think
I can’t speak
I can’t settle
I can barely breathe
I can feel my heart racing
I can hear it beat from inside my ears
I wish it would drown out the rest
I think of you
I can smell you on my sheets
I can hear your voice
But you’re not here
A tear rolls down my face
Then two, then three, four
Now those won’t stop either
Still petrified
Don’t tell me you lied
My heart is fried
Every night is the same story
I beat myself up in the same way
It never helps
I never learn
More thoughts scattered
Why are you doing this
What did I do wrong
How can I fix this
But no one answers
The phone doesn’t light up with your name
Salking quietly so no one else hears
I wake up with puffy eyes
From crying myself to sleep the night before
