ReplacedA Poem by Kori Rickettsbeing in love is hard...being replaced by love is harderattempting to unwind
yet only stringing the cords tighter.
the pressure builds and the animosity rages from beneath my sunken heart.
I open my mouth,
waiting for the gutwrentching noise to make itself free but nothing comess.
the silence disturbs me and i realize im alone.
entangled in all that i believed true of u,
left only with myself to question.
attempting to unwind
yet only stringing the cords tighter.
perpetuating false signs of hope,
lacluster promises of tomorrow.
They choke me now, when once they brought me life,
the pressure builds- she takes my place
the animosity rages- she knows her place
beaneath my sunken heart- she has made her home.
I open my mouth,
not remembering why i believed that there would be a noise.
The silence DI-stances me STUR-s my transistions B-ut makes me who i am,
and i realize i am alone.
Entangled in all that i believed true of you,
left only with myself to question...
