Happy Just a Week Ago

old poem dump SUCH emo

It’s. Oh. Kay.

I’m. Oh. Kay.

 

The pain

Inside,

I can’t

Explain it.

 

Said plain,

It tried,

I can’t,

Contain it.

 

Strike me down with something bad but painless;

Force abandonment to go away,

For every night, I’m sleeping restless

As I tell myself everything’s okay.

 

It’s. Oh. Kay.

I’m. Oh. Kay.

 

I keep

Thinking

I am

Dreaming it.

 

I see

Your face,

Am I

Dreaming it?

 

Beat me down until I just stop thinking,

Let my heartbeat rest a little while.

All my hopes and dreams are escaping.

Place my dearest thoughts in a separate pile.

 

Here’s, to the cry,

Of the nearly broken.

Hope, we don’t die

As the nearly broken,

Mis’ry taken,

Gloomy, beaten,

Godforsaken,

Sad, unspoken

 

It’s. Oh. Kay.

I’m. Oh. Kay.

 

My hands,

They shake.

My gut

Is churning,

 

My heart,

It breaks.

My sight

Is shifting. 

 

All I wanted was for you to hold me,

Tell me everything would be okay,

But instead you would rather scold me,

With every word you push me far away,

 

Here’s, to the cry

Of the nearly broken.

Hope, we don’t die

As the nearly broken,

Mis’ry shaken,

Wistful, beaten,

Unmistaken,

Crazed, unspoken,

 

Hearted!

 

It’s. Oh. Kay.

I’m. Oh. Kay.

 

The tears

Run down.

My throat

Is burning.

 

My head,

It throbs.

My eyes,

They’re burning.

 

Day, after day,

I am the dead that's walking. 

We were happy just a week ago.
