A Letter to Timothy

A Letter to Timothy

A Poem by Kathryn Smith

There 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


You led her to a well and drained it


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

Heya, who said u r ugly? And its him who is bad, not you. Then why worry, and cry and whine? I know my words won't have any effect on u, but still as I learnt from life herself early on, u too will...best of luck!

It's sad to think how some humans treat others, discarding them before even knowing them, making instant judges, or leading someone on they have no intention of following through with. There will always be these people, the secret is not to let them take up any more space in that big heart and save the space instead for others that see you for what you are. Heartfelt, poignant write, hopefully writing it will at least help breaking the chain.
