So your there
And im here
Every inch of despair
That you feel
You don’t think
Anyone notices
Your footprints
Leave marks
Marks of anger
Marks of fakeness

If I smile for
Long enough
By the time the tears fall
It will be nighttime
No one will see
Ill be there
Curled into a ball
Clutching at the darkness
That has become my life

So I know he was the
Reason when he stopped
Loving me
Yet I still hope to
Die and he’s not
The reason anymore

One second of redemption
that’s all I ask
One moment when
M y breath isn’t
Clouded by jealousy
Or rage

People think they
Know your reasons
Try and figure you out

Your anger at everything
Your bones give
Your secrets away
My bones dig in
Suffocating me slowly
No one see’s
No one knows where I’ve been
Where I am

Who im scared
Im becoming
So I sit and wait
Wondering
Is this all I will
Ever feel

Love is such a cliché
Written about for centuries
Understood no
More than Shakespeare himself

Ill continue
To hate everything
Placing brick after brick
Onto my wall
Until hopefully
It caves in and
I don’t feel anything
Anymore

Im numb
From emotion
From betrayal
I loved and
I was betrayed
So im left battered
Scared and empty
So empty

The most scary
Thing of all I love
My emptiness
i can’t
Lose this hatefullness
Then without that
I truly will
Be nothing

    I don’t know if you meant to do it, (if you did, its genius) but putting a space between the M and the Y in… One monent when / M y breath isn’t / Clouded by jealousy sways the reader to feel the pain, like your studdering to overcome tear. It is an awesome touch.
    Great piece.
