Naked, Today.

A poem about heartbreak. Missing someone who you thought you loved, and facing the fact that the pain still hasn't left yet.

Every inhale is a quick stab to my lungs,

And every exhale is a tear from my eye

Every sad song is a pause, a stop to my heart,

And every time my heart makes my mind cry

 

In every day like today, the rain splatters,

In every puddle that forms, there's your face

Everyone that I see stares blankly at me,

While thoughts of you make my mind race

 

Every dusty, old memory comes to find me,

And I'm haunted by your ghost, day or night

Every image of us makes me shiver,

And everytime, my mind puts up a fight

 

In every picture I've burned, there's no healing

In every flame, my heart melts, deep inside

But every part of our past makes me bitter

Tell me, do you love nothing but pride?

 

You've stripped me of myself; I'm now naked

And everyone that's around gets to see

That of everything you've done, you did it, you've won

Today, you've still got a tight hold on me 

 

Every feeling I have is erupting,

My insides, they spill out from my mind

Every memory is a bruise, covered in black and blue,

Every harsh word is a crack to my spine 

 

So I pray for the hands of tomorrow

To, please, wipe away every tear of today

And I hope that your tomorrow brings sorrow

Every time that the wind whispers my name
