i love you, i'm sorry ¹ [poetry] ✓

vi. absence interlude

will you cry - gracie abrams

(i'll just tell you you're right and scream internally,
like you're not even here but god, are you hurting me
the way you're leaving more than frequently
has been killing me emotionally)

i don't even think you know that you were everything to me

because by now, i'm just a fainting memory;
that you keep locked in six feet under,
in hopes that keeps destroying me

and you're damn right, 'cause i still wonder
what the hell i did to deserve the way you treated me
