I don’t understand what it is that I do wrong.

I don’t want to hurt her! But why must I be so strong

In my address to her. She is old and frail and full of woe,

Or so we thought, nonetheless she walked out, baggage in tow.

I lay on my bed dreaming of such a wondrous place

Where one may understand me as I embrace all I face.

A place to bask in my never ending sorrow.

Where mine are not the only insides that are hollow…

She stalks up the stairs again and I hear her footsteps thundering.

I cower further, and further, into my sheets to muffle the noise from my blubbering.

I hear her stop right outside my door and listen

Hoping to charge in and make me justify why my eyes mustn’t glisten.

And as I hear her fiery figure retreat,

I slowly open myself and expel my fear-filled heat.

I return to the blissful utopia my mind continues to build

And find once again the freedom that she would’ve killed…

P/N: The song on the side and the one in the external I felt both fit this piece. That and the fact that I love the songs so check them out. :)

Thanks for reading.
