Letters to Emotions

Dear happiness,

I've missed you old friend.

I've missed you dearly.

But I hate you.

I love you.

I'm tired of you.

I'm terrified of you.

You told me I was beautiful.

You told me I was enough.

You gave me love,

That you said I deserved,

But again and again,

You broke your promises.

To stay together forever,

And let nothing tear us apart.

You left me again,

And you tore me apart.

I plead for mercy.

And you come back again.

But why, oh why,

Do I always let you back

In?

Dear sadness,

I don't understand,

How I find comfort

In your arms.

Yet

Drown

In your tears.

Dear anger

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I held you back.

I'm sorry I locked you up.

Chained you up.

Tied your broken heart and

Crushed it up.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I stepped so fiercely on you.

I'm sorry I thought you were nothing.

Discarded your tears.

Shut your mouth.

Heard music from your cries.

I'm sorry.

I should've listened.

I should've cared.

I should've known

That you wanted to Help.

That I should've asked for Help.

I'm sorry that I've -

Dried you up,

Tore your soul

Starved your life,

Left you with nothing but

Bones and fragments,

Scars and blood.

Not knowing that I've

Made a monster.

Twisted your mind.

Made you hungry.

So devour me now.

I admit my loss.

I admit my defeat.

Just let it go.

Let it out.
