have you ever felt replaced?
your eyes dart back and forth in worry
needlessly trying to find a hint of love
your ears burn and itch
and it will continue until you hear your own name
being able to only taste gravel grind against your teeth
your hands reach out , sightless as an earth worm
you begin to stumble backwards
tripping beneath your own mistakes
you focus on being caught
you focus on landing into the arms of your loved ones
but they aren't there
your loved ones don't even consider themselves your loved ones
you open your mouth to scream but silence over takes it
you're searching for the people you once knew and loved
and yet when you tell yourself to trust them, to love them again
you are only heart broken
they are too worried about their own feelings to help out on yours
they feel so guilty about letting you down
so bad that they wallow in self pity
rather than helping you out
