A Memory

It felt like I was walking on glass.

Every step I took hurt even more than the last.

How do you know when it’s coming to an end?

How can you forget the late nights where neither of you went to bed?

It felt like I was screaming but no one seemed to care.

Like the person I relied on was never even there.

What can you do to take away the pain?

What can you do to stop the tears from coming down like rain?

It felt like I was frozen but everyone else could move.

As though I was expected to have something to prove.

Remember when you both were making all those plans?

Now you can’t even figure out where you stand?

It felt like I was trapped and there was nothing I could do.

It was slowly killing me like I had the flu.

Where can I go?

What can I do?

Why can’t I just forget about you?
