Dear Emily,
You would always make my day
I repaid you by crushing yours
Dear Emily,
Your hugs always gave me the greatest comfort
I repaid you with a stab in the back
Dear Emily,
You always saw past my bitchy game
I repaid you by being a pro
Dear Emily,
You always stood by me
I repaid you by standing with her
Dear Emily,
You always called me your favorite person
I repaid you by putting you at the back of the line
I'm sorry,
For pretending I didn't care
When it still kills me inside
I'm sorry,
I didn't see your pain
Now I'm the one with wounds
I'm sorry,
I didn't try
I was scared of your rejection
I'm sorry,
I pushed
Who am I?
I don't know anymore...
Trying to figure it out with no luck
Looking back at fourteen years old
I was so sure
So me
I don't feel so poetic
I don't feel so sassy
I don't feel so anything
I've changed
Good?
Bad?
I can't think about it
It makes me want to puke
I can't breathe
My head is spinning
My heart is a heavy stone
I feel like I'm going to faint
I'm not me
Where is me?
I miss her!
COME BACK!
I want to scream!
I want cry...
I want to find myself
I'm just a blob
There's nothing to me
...Help
But this blob
Is clay
I need to mold it
Mold it back to me
Find the familiar lines and planes
Squeeze and st
You gave me fireworks
Until you cleared my night sky
Empty of nothing
I played with a sparkler
Fun to look at
Yet insubstantial
I settled with a candle
It made me warm
Lighting up my loneliness for awhile
I'm pining after a fire
Big and blazing
Burning me with every touch
Yet at night
As I lie in bed with tears
I'm only dreaming after one
My fireworks
Dazzling
Breathtaking
It was once mine
And now it's dark
I miss my light show
Where once you made me giggle
I can barely muster a smile
Where once you called me beautiful
Our conversations are barely worth while
Hun, whatever we once had is fizzing
And now you leave me questioning
Was I the only one who felt sparks?
I've loved
But I've been hurt
Like you
I've been so depressed
That I wanted to sleep and never wake
Like you
I've dreamed of fatal death
Something to ease the pain
Like you
I've leaned on close friends
Trying to get through
Like you
My feelings should be non-existent
Expecting the same sad end
Like you
I should be building walls and shields
Blocking out love from me
Like you
Except,
Walls never occurred to me
Bitter never was a thought
There was only you
Sweet you
Cute you
Honest you
Please be patient
Please be understanding
Please be there for me
I'm ready to give this a chance
So when you asked if I loved you
I
Excuse you?
Who do you think you're talking to?!
You're talking to the bitch that has two years on your ass!
Are you...
Are you really trying to leave me?
Oh, Honey, do you not know me?!
Sweetie, you do not make decision of leaving me
In case you forgot
I. Own. You.
I do
Did you forget that you gave me your heart and soul?
All those nights we spent talking
I spilled my every thought to you
You told me amazing stories that made me laugh
I can't count every sweet thing you've said that made me smile like crazy
And I can't count every time I said I loved you
That I would always be there for you
No matter what
You said we'd be
A whispered prayer escapes my lips
As your memory consumes me
I'm lost in our prolonged goodbyes
The feeling of your skin to mine
Sweet melodies of your loving voice
Soft lips that made me dizzy
I lost it all once
I won't lose it again
I clasp my hands so tightly
Feeling helpless
Small
And weak
All I can do is whisper prayers
Like I did on many sobbing nights
I prayed to be back together
We are
Just too far away
I prayed for a road back to you
I have it
Just blocked with traffic
Every obstacle thrown at us
Used to strengthen me
Keep me going
My head held higher
Now I'm filled with heavy doubt
Fighting back the tears
"I love you," He whispered
"Trust me."
I nodded
Tearing up
Reaching out to stroke your cheek
One last touch
To prove that you were real
You kissed my fingertips
Then slowly faded away
And I was alone
I waited
Trying to immerse myself in memories
Getting lost in daydreams
But daydreams and memories aren't a person
Aren't you
I'm still waiting
Hoping you didn't forget me
Please come back
Prove that you're real
Someone once gave me their soul
I was shocked
I had never owned anything so beautiful
So trusting
So fragile
But it was mine
To keep and to care for they said
I carried their soul with me
It became so natural
Like it had always been mine to hold
That soul slowly merged with my own
Twisting together
So that I no longer knew which was mine
And which was theirs
As if our souls had never been separate
But had been waiting all this time to find each other
And finally be whole
I'll never forget the day our souls became lost from one another
Mine is only half alive now
The other half lost with you
Does your soul miss mine as much
