You left
Not once
But twice
And the same way each time
Without a goodbye
Who really cares
When I talk
What I feel
What I say
Who wants to take sometime to understand
I would just like if someone healed me with a little empathy
But I can’t find
Anybody
I’m feeling invisible to the world
As you read this you’re not even thinking of me
Repairing my heart is becoming an increasingly hopeless cause
Maybe this world is not my block
My stoop
My life
My dreams
My anything
Who wants to help
Momma
Her and I are estranged
Daddy
Well he was never here
I’m feeling so alone in a big empty space with
Nobody
Nobody not really
I’ve come to grips with the fact that
I’m to blame for how you act
I let you stay
I let you leave
And I kept letting you come back
Even though you continually caused this sorrow
I want to be the bigger person but…
I hope you begin to feel as sad as I feel tomorrow
Every kiss came after an apology
Ruining it’s natural sweetness
And if you weren’t apologizing
We sat beside one another silent
I promise
I asked for so little
Because I’d never take advantage of what I thought was your kindness
But you would have rather laid there unbothered collecting bedsores
I would apologize after you kissed me
I’m a sucker for things that are artificially sweet
And it’s ruining me…
If I weren’t begging for your attention
We’d just lie beside one another silently
Reality— I accept it and proceed accordingly.
