Paralyzed

The silence is burning my throat.

The stillness is hurting my bones.

Unhealthy

I left you a long time ago.

I checked out of the relationship,

long before I said the words.

And when I did say the words,

you didn’t want to hear me,

you didn’t want to acknowledge my feelings.

So you would promise to change,

and you would promise it would be different.

And after all your promises did not work, you would come over in the middle of the night.

And you wouldn’t leave until I talked to you.

And then you wouldn't leave until I stayed with you.

And I would take you back because I didn't want the hassle.

I didn't want to keep having the same conversations.

And when sometime would go by and nothing would change.

I would say, "I do not want to be with you, I want to break up. This is not what I want anymore. I do not want to be controlled anymore."

Selective Amnesia

We had our fun.

I know we did.

I wouldn’t have stayed in it for so long,

if we hadn’t.

But why can’t I remember

the good times.

The times you made me laugh,

smile,

feel happy.

I must have been happy,

right?

Even a little...

To have stayed so many years.

Why can’t I remember the good times?

It should help

The feeling of your non beating heart in my hand should make me feel better.

Looking into your lifeless eyes should help me see better.

Listening to the silence that comes without your voice telling me I'm not good enough should help me hear better.

And knowing you no longer exist to ruin me should help me sleep better.

Choices

Do you remember when you were stuck. And I don't mean stuck in traffic. I mean stuck in life. So unable to move or grow but it's through your own volition. You created it, caused it, or did nothing to stop it. That's me. I'm stuck. And through no one's fault but my own.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Has it lost its meaning to you too.

PANIC!!

Your chest is rising

You're breathing heavy

Your throat is constricted

You are about to panic

But no worries I am here for you

I will calm you down

That's what I do for you

Try and keep you steady

If you are unbalanced you know what to do

Just take deep breaths because everything will be OKAY.

Do you know that when you touch my leg or bite my neck,

I feel it.

But when you say those words,

I don't understand it.

Lights out

My light was so RADIANT

You could spot it from the sky

.

.

.

It's DARK here with you

I was brighter alone

I thought we would SHINE

No darkness in sight

But all you brought was darkness

and turned off my LIGHT.
