Our Reality

Just a poem I wrote earlier on this year, it was set before a bad breakup of mine....

Waiting
Unsaid words linger in the air
Clinging to the unknown,
Grasping for release

Envy
I long to be the darkness
I long to resemble the invisible
to be the outsider-
To hear you speak the words we’ve both been waiting
you speak aloud the words assumed
Cutting through the night
wounding my heart
yet
I know you’re in the right
our problems have heightened
high beyond reach

Still
I can’t seem to let go
something keeps me connected
can’t get free
Convinced
we’re living art displayed for all
Our love was a delusion
A simple fantasy
A love story left untold
but only we understand
the real meaning
Now
I wait in the silence again
While the shadows envelope me
In their cold embrace,
Pretending to be okay
You know better
Please
Say everything will be just fine
“You’ll always be mine”
Stuck in my head
Remember
We were lost in the illusions

I’m drowning in our short story
The words
“I’ll always be yours”
Repeating in my head
Like
A broken tape recorder
You’ve left me in the dark
To fend for myself
We used to be so happy
Delusions be damned
We held each other
In the others arm
that nothing else mattered
To us

But then
Reality took over
Life
Flooded our dreams
Drowned our love
stole every ounce of what we had
now all that’s left,
All that we have to call ours,
is lost in
the cold silence
