A Letter..

The thoughts I couldn't ignore.

 

Let’s just not think anymore.

I don’t want to think anymore.

It’s not like any of it was real…

Or, at least, that’s what I’d like to say.

I honestly don’t know.

Was any of it real?

Or were they words poised on lips

Heavy with your breath that I wanted to hear?

 

I wish I couldn’t think of you anymore.

They’re warm memories..

But they fill me with such loneliness

I can’t bear it.

They make me wish I could see you again

Only for a fleeting moment.

I know I promised to let people in…

And though I do think of you as at least a friend…

I can’t trust myself.

 

I can’t trust myself to be strong around you.

I can’t trust myself not to break,

To give in like I really want to.

I can’t trust myself

Because I know

That it won’t be long

Until I reach that point

Where I know my heart can break.

 

We don’t deserve each other.

 

I’m sorry…

Author's Note

I didn't know what to call this. And I really don't know what to say. Tell me what you think, if it depressed you or reminded you of something or...yeah, you get the point.

Well done Poet.

This was so relevant to me today. It didn t really depress me, because i was depressed to begin with. But it provided evidence that someone else was going through it, which was surprisingly comforting. Thank you.
