a punch in the face for me is like a
waking up call to do more. More punches more text.

Omnipresent
Voiceless, faceless  hatred
Unwillingly accepted
By data communication,
Even when you're not there
I feel you, words piercing
Through flesh, deeper
Than the love of family ties
Criticism, every little thing
Scrutinised.
I am left with one door open
Follow me if you dare.

it ***** to think
i was gone all day
for hours
upon hours
and i didn’t receive
a single text
or message
from you


or am i just
expecting
too much
from you
too early
?

every time my phone rings
every time it vibrates
every time there is a notifcation
i always hope its from you
always
hoping
its
you
waiting
for
you

I've rebuilt walls so high
that the conversation scares me
why would he desire me
after years of not speaking
every opened message
is a bomb detonating
destroying the walls
of my brand new building

That wasn't how I thought it'd go.
I'm left feeling useless and confused.
Why do we text all the time, if you can't even form a sentence on the phone?

Pure silence filling the room and my heart.
Maybe you were upset and tired,
But you could have at least tried, that's all that I ask,
for you to try to get to know me.

Maybe they were right about you.
You haven't figured out life yet,
and you don't seem to be trying.
You complain about life,
yet you do nothing to change it.
Maybe you were right about you.
You constantly putting yourself down,
Me constantly trying to encourage you,
But maybe all this time, you were right.

Once again, my wanting to see the best in people puts a knife in my back.
I guess this is what I get for being kind.
That

I am scared to write a hello to you.
Can you be brave and text me first?
I hope it will not hurt your ego cause'
I am already afraid when I'm at my worst.

I am really scared to give you a call.
Can you be brave and take the fall?
I hope it will not hurt your ego cause'
at my worst I just cannot stand tall.
