Imbalanced, forgotten about.
Shlup
I am a woman with a mind that contains ideas.
I have emotions, someone told me to share.
I believe the earth will keep on rolling when we die
I believe what walks after are ghosts and memories.
Are you listening?
You left me. You left me.
You said it now, go away girl, you're gone.
You said it with such played apathy
And your face is a brick wall
You have the right to remain silent and I have the ride to choose not to hear
You messed it up so run with it.
I love you boy, I really do.
I did everything I did to protect you
When I hurt you it was because I had to
watching you leave, hoping you'll stay
When did I
become
nothing
You stand in front of me like it's as simple as it for you to talk again.
I hide the sting
I hide the cuts under shirts
Hows the life? Does he still wear those awful clothes?
Remember when? When you say we end forever, this is no remember when
the memories are nothing but immagination. Learn your place in this tricky emotional battle.
Lash out
Tried to tell him
Lash out.
In bed, my world is toasty, the dreams keep coming down
Sigh
His voice
Disregarding my thoughts, my only words.
I curl up
Head in the pillow, the cotton embracing me.
all the memories
tearing up, slide out, wet, soft,
hidden in the pillow
I can see his face, see her pain.
"It's all your fault. You've gotta let it play safe."
Words that changed, catalysts.
No get out of my life.

This is amazing, I love the formatting and how it feels like a stream of thoughts and emotions throughout. The feelings in this are deep and strong, I love the story of sadness, pain, and change it tells. Thanks for the entry.
