Regretting

I sit broken on the floor
Close my eyes
And I can still see your face.
I sit with my back against the wall
Listening to broken records
Sweet songs stuck
Repeating
Repeating all the things
That I pretended not to know.
I walk over to the window
Lean my face against the glass.
I watch the cars fly by,
I watch the days
Blurred across my memory.
I think I understand now
But it's much too late;
No use now to a broken bird
In an old army coat.
Underneath my clothes
My skin doesn't fit right;
Not enough room inside
For all the little monsters
That I didn't know were there
Until today.
They told me their names
But I've forgotten now,
Another thing I
Never meant to let go,
Picked up by the wind
That runs through my head.
Everything happened so fast
And then it was gone
But I still see your face
Every time I close my eyes.

Emolicious anyone? Feeling pretty bad lately. Wrote this in my notebook, but I've put it up for the contest because, well, why not?

    Oh wow, that's really good and I like the word choice and the emotinos fitting it. Keep it up, I think this one is one my favs so far.
