Journal Entry

A Poem by Lady Schwartz

I am a forgotten journal entry
On a page you left untouched.
My words speak of isolation,
Depression,
Confusion
And hurt.

My dents - a ghost of a scar
Of the moment your pen touched.
I was once a pure clean surface
Then you scribbled on my skin.

Your words,
They hurt
When you wrote them.
God help me, I felt that pain.

You press hard when you're angry
And you picked me to be that strong.

How many others know that?
I know you better
Than the rest.
They only know enough.

I thought that you loved me once...
Then you threw me in the trash.
There once was a time,
A long time ago,
When you told me everything on your mind.
No matter how strange, funny or sad
I liked knowing about your day...

One day you stopped coming to me.
That day was the hardest yet.
I remember the sadness in my doodled heart
When you put me on the shelf.

I miss those days.
We used to talk for hours.
I miss feeling your tears
When they dropped down onto my page.

There is no hope for me now.
I am soon to be recycled.
Maybe one day I'll find a new friend.
And find love again at last.
But for now, my dear,
my sweetest, my angel,
I am your forgotten journal entry
On that page you left untouched...
