What’s the point?
You won’t care
Once I’m dead.

“She’s gone.”
How will you respond
To something like that?

Will you cry
Or will you mourn?
Or will you just simply walk away?

Walk away from my body.
Walk away from my soul.
Walk, because it’s the only thing you know how to do.

You walked away from your family.
You walked away from your lover.
Will you walk away from me once I’m dead?

You never wanted to stay.
I know that. So I want you to watch
As I walk away from you.

I sit in this place we called ours,
By the sea that we loved,
And I can’t help but wonder
If you ever come here at all.

Does this place mean anything to you,
Even now, after all this time?
Does it remind you of me,
Or even just memories of us?

It hurt to see you happy without me,
It hurt to see you smile,
It hurt to just walk past you,
Like the strangers we were.

I sit in this place we called ours, but it is ours no more.
I wish I could ask you, “Do you even think of me anymore?”

I can feel my nails dig into my palms,
The same way I can feel their words pierce my heart.
Their eyes are lasers that fall on my skull,
And their hands are the whips that scar my body.

Do they realize what they do to me?
Do they know what I’ve become?
Do I even matter to them anymore?
Do they care as they did?

I sit here alone,
Staring at the walls
Of the house that was once mine.
The place I called home.
It doesn’t feel like home anymore.
When did that happen?
When did everything change?
Will it ever feel like home again?

My nails still dig into my palms.
Tiny curves of pain fill my hands,
For now.
They’ll be gone soon,
Those little scars.
But I’ll still be here,
Wondering when my world fell apart.

— The End —
