I remember.. I don't
Bernice Sep 18
I remember my name
But I don't remember my pain
I remember my age
But I don't remember why I'm in this cage

I remember my parents
But I don't remember my presents
I remember my lies
But I don't remember my prize

I remember my interactions
But I don't remember my actions
I remember my clothes
But I don't remember my shows

I remember my losses
But I don't remember my traumas
I remember my food
But I don't remember your grace

I remember your voice
But I don't remember you rejoice
I remember your footsteps
But I don't remember your stress

I remember your embrace
But I don't remember your mistake
I remember your footsteps
But I don't remember your stress

You left so randomly
And left me with a broken heart
You spread blasphemy
To try and tear us apart

So I have a question for you
And you must answer truthfully
Did you have someone new?
Or did you leave moodily?

Whatever the reason was
Life will still go on
With or without you
This is goodbye now and forever

Too much
Bernice Sep 13
Talking is too much energy
So the silence creeps in
Living is too much
So I try to leave

Anger is too much energy
So I bottle it inside
Feeling is too much
So I close them away

The tears are too much
So they end up drying
The noises are too much
So I shut them out

The pain is too much
But I still make more
The heartbreak is too much
So I lock my heart

The truth is too much
So I shut my tongue
This love seems unknown
So I say no

The people are too much
So I build up walls
The activities are too much
So I become alone

I feel discarded
So I drown myself in books
I feel unenergetic
So I do my thing

Everything is too much
So I want to let go
But I can not let go
Although I feel I won't be missed

Being me is too much
So I fake my smile
Good luck to those
Just like me

— The End —
