I guessed
it was harder
to Forget

And easier
to Forgive -

I guess
I’m not good
at guessing.

I can't keep fighting
your perception of me
It's not that it matters
just that it stings

I've carried as much
as my mind will allow
but I keep finding ways
to keep breaking down

Sinking sand

in my heavy heart

I don't need you

weighing me down

You hear my words as they roll off my tongue,
Forgotten tomorrow,
Remembered never.

I hear yours,
Remembered tomorrow,
Forgotten never.

I see that sometimes my passion deceives,
But all I want,
is to voice it.

I’ve felt such sadness
it crushes,
I’ve felt such loneliness
it breaks,
But still you do not hear me.

What can I say to make this voice even louder

I know the color of death
As fresh as an hour,
Washed gone with a load of clothes,
Faded like paper.

I know the sticky fingers of a mans and how it lingers,
Like salt on your skin,
Sugar under your nails

I know the cold floor of a bathroom
So cold it reaches into my soul
Grabs hold of every last breath
As I try to call out to you.

I could scream at you I feel so lost.
I could rip out my heart,
that’s how little I feel it
As you talk down to me.
May 30th, you *******. The day I finally saw myself clearly and you as the ******* you are. I don't think you will ever produce something worth while, for you do not have anything important to say, and the way to say it.

I SCREAMED AND I KICKED AND I PUNCHED AND I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO KEEP YOU AWAY

I KNEW WITH ALL MY HEART THAT YOU WANTED ME DEAD, RIGHT?

SO I DIDN'T STOP SCREAMING AND KICKING AND PUNCHING

UNTIL YOU WERE ON THE FLOOR IN TEARS

YOU SAID YOU DIDNT KNOW WHY I WAS DOING THIS

I STOPPED FOR A MINUTE AND I LOOKED DOWN ON YOUR ****** FACE

BEFORE STAMPING IT INTO THE GROUND

LOOKING BACK ON IT

YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH, WEREN'T YOU?

...

WERE YOU REALLY TRYING TO **** ME?

...

...

I'M NOT THE VICTIM AT ALL, AM I?
I'm not in the right. I'm sorry.

Our brains might mistake some actions for rudeness
when really the other person's brain is completely unaware of the capability of being misjudged.
