Suffocating (In a way I've come to expect)A Poem by Beatrice MarsForget you.I try to remember you While I try to forget. I learn every last detail, Then put it Somewhere safe Where it is lost forever.
(Stuck adrift in time I can never be sure of when, what or, Indeed, whom I Speak. I apologise)
(You make me cry) Your hold on me is Suffocating (With possibilities) Despite your apparent absence
Your hold on the Colours of the World has thrown me Into a life of monochrome.
Your licence on Imagining and your Decisions concerning Balloons have given me Indigestion.
Your invitation To infidelity Has me questioning your Attractiveness. I think I'm a little biased.
I told you "I can't be Bothered anymore." You asked me: "Why aren't you dead?" I tried you explain: "It's like when you're tired But you don't want to sleep." You're scared? "No, I don't want To turn the Music off." You're too lazy? "No, The music's really good - My favourite songs keep coming on - I'm just really tired." I don't understand "Me neither"
There are a few (a lot) Of things I Need to confront (Admit to myself) Before I let you in. These-
There are a lot of things I'll never let You learn. But I think (I assume) You already know; I'm prone to the dramatic.
These bubbles are killing me slowly, Drowning my brain in almost Silence. But when they burst and hit my skin They burn and sting.
I see your face through A battlefield of liquid rainbows, Your dimpled smile is frozen in Place. But I see your confusion; You don't understand (,) You lost everything.
(I turned the music off)
