Since when
Did those simple words
Become three empty words
Spoken but not meant
Driving daggers through my soulWhy do bad things have to happen to good people?
Why do the words 'i love you' feel different than before?
All of these feelings building up
Bubbling inside till I explodeThe pain
Physical
Emotional
Mental
Is sometimes more than I can take
Overwhelming every sense in my bonesI wanna be numb
The screaming I never feel
Why must I feel this way now?
A daughter unloved by her father
But loved deeply by othersI'm holding on for dear life
But why just I fear tonight?
Living or dying
Is it brave to jump in the way of danger?
Let the waters flood in
Breathe it in and breathe it outJust to hear those three empty broken words

RandomThis is my shitty poetry book to help sort through the thoughts and feelings coursing through me. Some of it probably isn't real poetry but just words. NOTE: There will not be regular updates.
