Sirens Song
Sarah Ellison Aug 2020
how can we comprehend
the human brain
it is not simple
not weak
but designed with complexity
and the greatest gift
yet the worst curse
is love
love
how shallow and weak
yet deep and powerful
many a sailor
fallen to the enchantment
of the sirens song
it pulls you in
only to spit you out
wiser and broken
i pity the heartbroken
yet envy the lovebird
the mind so complex
contradicts each text
should we love
or drown without feeling

missing you
Sarah Ellison Aug 2020
I miss you more than I describe
I thought I would be glad when you left
But your absence leaves a gaping hole that cannot be filled
I know you’re happy there but I miss you

Remembering
Sarah Ellison Aug 2020
here i sit
sifting through all our history
a tear slowly slides down my left cheek
why was i never enough for you?
i tried to be the perfect friend
always checking up on you
sharing some personal information
listening always to the little you had to say
i read through our conversations and realize we never even had one
it was merely questions and you gave an answer
for days you would go without responding only to say sorry i didn’t see this
the worst part was that i was stupid enough to fall for your lies
i’m not mad
i’m not resentful
i’m just sad
but i hope you’re happy
they say breakups between a boy and girl are hard
but my heart has never shattered more then when we stopped being friends
january 11th you never wished me a happy birthday
every holiday you merely replied you too
were we ever friends?
i think once upon a time we were
but that was forever ago
i miss you but i will not let my heart get broken again
and even though i know you don’t miss me
i hope you’re happy

— The End —
