For You

A poem I wrote after a particularly bad fight with my mother. I know, cliched material, but I still like the emotion it conveys.

For You

 

My thoughts convulse

When I think of you

Trying so hard

Don’t know what to do

Are we as blind

As I believe

Do you have another trick

Hidden up your sleeve

 

I really don’t know

I wish I could tell you

I am in hell

I am still waiting on you

 

I watched alone

For a million years

Sung a million songs

Cried a million tears

Heaven is real

But we don’t exist

I am alone

But our love persists

 

I know I don’t belong

I really tried to fit in

I have nowhere to start

I don’t know where to begin

 

Our dreams ignite

Like a spark in the void

You saw the killer in me

And became paranoid

I won’t survive

But that’s okay

I’ll still wait for you

Every day

 

I am erased

I have no face

I’m so goddamn sorry

I made you cry

I will not forget you

(and neither will you)

My love will protect you

(and the killer in you).
