Pessimistic Optimist

I'm blaming you for who I am now.

Too weak to

Walk away;

Too soft to

Tell you my feelings.

So I sit and I stare,

My anger a dull throbbing in

My right temple,

Clenching my jaw.

The sadness is deepening my

Permanent frown,

Knitting my brow.

Disappointment makes me restless,

Tying knots in my gut.

You make me want to scream

At the top of my lungs

In a way which everybody will hear me,

And my throat is raw.

Darkening eyes

As I reread our conversation from

Just two days ago,

Hating what you've turned me into.

Hating that you've made me care.

Hating that you've made me human.

So now the pessimism takes over,

And I pick at the blue polish on my index finger,

Frowning at the fleeting thought of
You'd say this color looks nice.
I miss you.
