The Vault
I have fallen
Into the ashes
Of what we were
You have forgotten
Who I am
The minute I fell
Into the mess you made
I have fallen
Away from us
Because I was never enough
To make you feel alive
So instead I died
I have fallen
To my heartbreak
Because I somehow thought
You would change.
Exhausted.
And completely drained;
Of songs being played on the radio over,
And over,
How I have to spent my time,
Alone.
Noticing,
Almost everything.

Almost.
And lonely.
Almost there,
I almost let them go,
But I am a sea of hello and goodbyes.
They are the waves that comes back everytime.
Without failing.

Lonely,
If there’s a more accurate word,
To describe being,
Alone.
With emotions,
Which then I’ll turn into words and words,
Of poems.

I am tired,
From this rain,
I want sunshine.
Not to live in;
Vain.
I just don't
Want to share
You with
Anyone

I need you
I want you
I think about you
Is that my fault?

Others treat you
Like you are nothing
And pass you around
Like it's a joke

That's why I stay
Inside
Don't let anyone
See me and you hide
This poem is about alcohol, take drinking seriously
Nothing helps,
Externalising this pain seems almost impossible.
These emotions don’t translate into words,
Into sentences,
Into paragraphs.
I can’t tell you whats wrong,
I can’t tell you how I feel,
I can’t tell you whats wrong,
I can’t tell you how I deal.

Nothing helps,
Externalising this pain seems almost impossible.
These emotions don’t translate into words,
Into sentences,
Into paragraphs,
I give it my all,
I try try try and I try,
I give it my all,
I cry cry cry and I cry.

Nothing helps,
Externalising this pain seems almost impossible.
These emotions don’t translate into words,
Into sentences,
Into paragraphs,
It all seems so hopeless,
It is a dead end for me,
It all seems so hopeless,
*It is a dead end you’ll see.
There, if I cant externalise the pain, I'll externalise the struggle
If with you there is nothing to gain,
Then you will always be my favourite kind of pain.

They ask me why I still talk to you,
Perhaps it’s because I don't truly believe we're through.

So I book another appointment,
Met with yet another disappointment.

I’d say I believe everyone deserves a second chance,
But so many later I’m not sure I’m worth a second glance.

I wish I could expel the emotions in my heart,
Whilst I remain silent, allowing myself to fall apart.

Why do I do this to myself?
When you’ve already put us on the shelf.

At times I find myself craving your pain,*
Even if there is nothing to gain.
I really wish I knew how to express how I feel, how I hurt, how I hope.
I wish I was,
For if I could,
Be it a moment,
Or for an eternity,

I would travel back to then

For if it were,
That it was possible,
To correct my wrongs,
All in one go,

I would travel back to when

Nothing but a chance,
To make it up,
The wrongs I made,
I am truly sorry,

**I would travel back to then
I wish I could go back to then, back to when I was wrong, and make it right
