Forgetting is Not as Easy as it Sounds

The sound your voice makes as it crashes against me,

Strong, violent and full of harsh intentions-

The cruel words push just yet another domino,

Leaving me stranded and insecure,

Filled with loneliness so hollow,

So hollow that it is like an empty stomach-

A hunger that can never be fulfilled.

My heart aches for affection that will never be granted,

My soul cries for help that will never be given

My head questions things that will never be answered.

My heart aches because it feels no love,

And when one feels no love one turns to darkness.

My soul cries because that it knows no other caring soul,

My soul craves for a soul like no other.

My head questions because it does not know who to trust,

And who it is trying to forget.

I try to forget the other dominos your words have pushed,

The words you say to me,

The pain you have inflicted onto my body,

The look in your eyes when you hurt me,

I try to forget the cruel things that I can never forget

The hate in your eyes,

The bitter tone in your voice while talking about me,

The unloving state of mind you have for me

I try to forget my sadness

I try to pretend everything is okay

I try to tell myself I am okay

But I am not

And no one notices

My hate

My anger

My sadness

Because I am nothing

And never will I be something
