A Letter to TimothyA Poem by Kathryn SmithThere was a boy who lived inside his head He couldn't face the world so he turned his back instead He couldn't see in front of eyes and he knew from the finish to the start It was bound to fall apart Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?
Timothy There is a lump in my throat Constantly You were the source of my happiness and now the source of my sorrow I am to be a ghost for Halloween For you killed me but I miss you I miss you I miss you so I.... Do you you miss me? I don't know I finally cried today Because I do not like my life I hate the thought of letting go but I hope you know I don't want to go Who are you? Who the hell are you? What is there left to show? Dear Timothy You're a wretched man I curse your name I curse your door Do you remember? When I knocked? After begging You opened it Remember my face? My eyes in fear and disgrace? I was breaking on the inside Why don't you sleep? Why did you choose her over me? Why didn't you give me a chance? Why did you play with my emotions like that? I hate you I hate you I hate you so Timothy I feel ugly I feel more than alone Stone cold So hideous you've made my world less bold You promised a thirsty horse water
Why? Why? Why? I feel trapped in your chains In your misery In your vain and delusional brain Nothing is permanent I don't want to let you go This whole world is nothing but a freak show Fake The media is a blistering lie Society is sick like war I hate how women are only well liked If they're only a certain way Timothy will you speak to me again? Or are you sitting on main street Smiling your cheshire cat grin? Sticking pins in a new girls heart? Timothy can't you see? Clearly you can't I am exhausted I am broken I am nearly gone I am the girl who traveled so long She ruined herself in your image Yet through all this I'd still sing you a song I am cursed with a large heart and Timothy in the future I hope you remember that I was there for you and I hope you change I hope you change for the better Because I know eventually You'll die from all the stings The things you hide will find you A long and painful death it will be Yet fear not You'll finally be exactly like me Someone who got lost and drowned in the sea
