The day you slipped away
you stood in front of me
Your body
Your voice
Your hands
Your face
I felt you slip away
One by one
I could not identify
Your hugs became weak
Your love becomes nonexistent
Your hand drifted away
And now I am far away
From you
From the stranger
Strange feelings
The strangest love I receive
Strangest love I give
Now I must scream
You hold your hand
Over my mouth
Ask me to sit
Patiently
Quietly
My feet get sore from standing on the hard ground for so long
But that's not what's on your mind
The time goes by like sugar trying to dissolve in cold water
Each hour a new monologue
Every word makes me bite my tongue
my mouth turns to a pool of blood
But you still continue
My ears are wide open
Cause that's what you demanded
My mouth is sewn shut
Cause that what you implied
But it's still not enough
I could cut my ears off and stuff them in my pumping heart
Place it in your hand
And you would still ask me
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you love me?
Z.H.
