Heart


I wish I could take you back

I wish you could push me away

I'm watching myself die inside.

This is my first poem about you.

I can't seem to understand why you are here.

Why can't you leave and take your colors with you.

I need to choke so I can't breathe.

I need to suffer in silence.

I wish I could twist my hair back and slit my throat.

I wish I could find the haunting world.

I wish I could just die.

I wish I could just disappear.

I wish I could just find a different place to run.

I wish I could run.

I wish I could heal.

I wish I could kill my pain.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

I wish none of this would've happened.

I wish I could just disappear and live alone.

I am hurting so bad.
