Ransacked

Ransacked

A Poem by Rachel Landes

I'm into drugs
I'm into ghetto thoughts
And I'm into you
And when acting tough
Our weakness for each other
Is our little secret
And I know you will move
And move on
And leave drugs
And me behind
But I only wish 
You could see
What I see in you
How the way you look at me
Is no secret
To the glancing gazes
And non-plussed stares
Thinking thoughts like
Why are his hands not on her
And why is she not 
Clinging to him
Like oxygen
But if only you knew 
How hard I tried
I tried and I tried
But holding onto you
Was like clutching fire
And I think you demolished
The ashes of my soul
And now I run towards 
The darkness I once ran from
And devils no longer frighten me
Devils are now 
A part of me
So now
Let go of holding on
Don't look at me
The way you look at me
Stop feeling
What you feel for me
I can no longer take
Feeling your feelings
I can no longer give
What I no longer have
So please 
Please 
When I close my eyes
And count to three
Please don't stay
Please run from me
