I have locked you out
Shut down inside where you can't see
Yes you can leave me lonely
No, I'm perfectly fine
Words that drip like honey
taste like poison
but become truer
when I pull you close
I only feel the guilt
late at night
when my head's on your chest
I don't think you'll understand
I have these icky thoughts
These black feeling
That creep inside me all the time
but I swear I'm fine
There's nothing this head of mine
that could make me see
How you could hold the weight
That buries my chest
I'd share it if I could
muster the strength to form the words
but I see you for what you are
the weight I carry is mine
I am okay
I will be okay
I pinky promise
I'm just tired.

Sweet Nothing
PoesieA small collection of poems written from a dark place in my head.. From the deepest reaches of my soul to the hollow of my heart, on your screen is everything I found the words to express, whether or not it makes any sense at all.
