I am drowning in the pool of their insecurities
So often voiced, I cannot find the right moment To speak and what's more, to scream in anger And angst, why did you choose me? I wallow in the pool, my insides are disintegrating From your words of sadness and sorrows and your soliloquies Of how his love left you and how its stabs your heart Like you have stabbed mine so many times by locking me away I sit like there is a wall between us, and there is a small hole I can see your face, but somehow you cannot see mine You do not notice the empty stare on my face, my blank expression Which seeks to show you that all hearts break and all people hurt And we are so young and this is so not worth it But you continue to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk And I tell you, 'please, learn from this' But you don't learn, you just keep doing the same thing Over, and Over, and Over. And I wonder when life will grace me with all the love you have felt And when life will steal it from me so I can sit in front of you And force you to swim inside of my pool of sadness and soliloquies Of men who never deserved the time, but we gave them the clocks So you could see how it feels So you could see how it feels To sit in silence while I waste my words And let you know how much we seem to think the world revolves solely Around us.

AuthorI like to write; point blank. This is a little piece of me that I get to share with the rest of the world, and hey, you know, maybe you'll appreciate it, maybe it'll do nothing for you. But my writing exists, and that's enough for me. © 2019 Silvia Iorio. All rights reserved.
