Lyssa's Poem Book

Facing Backward

All I know is it will never happen to me

It's too late to even think about trying

The past is the past, and I can't get back

It hurts sometimes but I'm trying to stay alive

Pretending the past doesn't matter

Though it takes up my mind constantly

It was everything, and I had nothing

Maybe it would've been different if only I knew

But I guess there's nothing we can prove now

Those times are too far gone

Never returning, I hate how connection is prohibited

I don't wanna feel like I'm not one of them

But it's like I don't belong at home

It was stripped from me before I moved in

It's funny how a little sentence changes several million lives

I wanna know who cries at night

Overthinking the exact same dreams as me

Let me know

I just wanna talk it out

So we can have each other, I don't know

Just let me know

Don't wait, let me know

We should talk, but we don't

We could scream, but we won't

Whatever, just come on and let me know

Or was it all just for a show?
