As I Write This

As I Write This

A Poem by Haley Lynn Thomas

I guess this is goodbye

There's no more reason to lie

No more reason to stay

This time it won't all be okay


There's no more reason to hope

We're sliding down a slippery slope

I'm done hiding behind these walls

It's time we face the falls


I'm feeling so conflicted inside

When was the last time you cried?

The rain keeps coming down

I need to escape this town


What do I have left to believe in?

There's no way for me to win

Change isn't always for the better

Tonight I'll curl up in your stained sweater


Tears well up in my eyes as I write this

My chest aches as I reminisce

When was the last time I saw you cry?

There's no more reason to lie
