#dismissal
I cannot eat this. Eat. If I would, I´d feel like puking. Eat. I don´t like the texture, or the taste. Eat. I am not even feeling hungry. Not that I ever do. Eat. I don´t like the color and form. Eat. It is mushy and weird. Eat. The thought alone makes me sick. Eat. I do not want to eat this. Eat. I will feel sick. Eat. I cannot eat this. Eat.

Eat.
I sit once more dismissed, A lonely figure in my head and my heart, Aware of the specific trigger For my sacking as your partner, lover, friend, Yet also keenly aware that Once again ADHD has twisted reality And scale and proportion To the point your rage knows Nearly no bounds, Only that I must be destroyed And in this there is such Injustice and a great untruth, Because I read your verse, I see the photo's we took even on a day When we met but to part, And what I see, What I see over and over and over, Is the flow of love from thee to me And me to thee and thence back, A circular intimacy without end, Until you took bolt cutters to it Sought to free a link in the chain You feel has bound me to you And you to me, And us to we, But here is the thing love, That loop is like Hercules soul, 'Tis harder than you think to cut, There is always a hair's breadth You cannot ever sever, Yet for now I must wait alone in the shadows, Away from the warmth of our love, That irrational you that arose from Pain and ADHD Must depart before The real us Can Return

The Sacking
She sweeps up the shards and she doesn't recognise them: the shards of a man.

[ She sweeps up the shards ]
I'm sick and tired of this downward spiral I'm lost and helpless why am I so broken I reach you smile but you never fix my broken pieces Do you... even see me? You've seen me at my worst... Did you already forget the talk we had where I promised to put the razor down? You never cast a second glance but I never... Never stopped looking for a way out.

Lost
"Could you spare a moment? I need to talk to you, it's important." "Not right now, I'm busy. Can we talk later?" "Oh, okay." And we never talk.

We Don't Talk
We all have someone who is there for us, offering a bond thicker than blood itself when all else seems to be broken. Someone who has traced our footsteps from the moment we were born and who will close their eyes with us when we die, a shadow that casts itself behind us, far closer and more familiar than we could ever imagine, admit or choose to believe. Someone to love, embrace and call 'Home' who transcends beyond the late nights spent, unfulfilled and convinced that we are lonely, insignificant and unloved with chattering teeth, duvet shivers and relentless 3am thoughts that trouble us, penetrating the recesses of our wandering mind or the empty coffee cup that rests on our bedside table... ...all while dismissing the warmth that can be found within the slightest glimpse of a single mere reflection.

Someone
the rain hit my windowpane, just like my tears hit the hardwood floor. all of my attempts have been in vain, i couldn't stop you from walking out the door. i remember when you stood here when you embraced me so warmly. but i watched you disappear something i wouldn't have done normally. your kiss was strong enough to glue me back together, your touch was enough to set me on fire. but now, i watch the ominously fierce weather, and force my feelings to retire. in seven years, i'll have skin you've never touched before but i can't help but wish you'd still be here. but, for now, i lay here on the floor wishing you were here, and shedding these tears.

abandonment
Reciting your enchanting beauty My life swifts from river mode to sea Where it is deeper and yet empty Which drift/drives my life to agony The wind of obsessity carries me To a place I always dreamt to be Placing my head in your lap I see; A future where we could be happy But gradually the dream gets over As the obsessity wind gets slower Revisiting the reality again Introduces me to a familiar pain The pain is not of losing you You were not a reward to be won But since now you're gone I feel a friend is departing too With shallow breath and watery eye Trembling limps and left with a sigh The heart beneath nearly die The moment you said, goodbye... I don't need drugs To ruin my life With an emotional outburst Its hard to survive
