Sydney Span May 2014
Please tell me if you're listening
Is it only I and open air?
I let myself crumble away
My eyes began to glisten
As I shivered standing there
Was there something more I could say?
As my eyes met your cold ones
I could not bare the pain
I panicked
I needed to keep it in one piece
Just for today
Please
Please
Don't do this
I felt my face get heated
I had broken
Blurry
I could barely see the crowded room
Dark
Empty
Alone
Running
As fast as I possibly could
To the nearest place
Sitting
I let everything be
how it was supposed to
And yes I let myself cry
He was gone
what else was there to do?
So I picked myself up
and I pretended to
have it together
For another
five
years

But do you ponder about the forbidden fruit
Or what Snow White just had to bite
Do you think about from tip to root
Or maybe how day turns to night

Don't do do this to yourself
Don't throw it all away
Stay far from that "doctor"
Don't have your apple a day
