TORN
Into pieces like
crystals so delicate, that
were dropped on the floor
by careless souls who didn't
care, forgotten and left to
ROT
If I tried to hide
what I felt from within me,
from the rest of them?
No, that's a horrid idea.
Ma told me to express my
THOUGHTS
My mind is empty.
No joys, no nothings. I can't,
keep holding my breath.
They know, they do, they ignore.
The only thing left is a
RIFT
Distanced friendship, our
torn relationship, I yearn
to see you again. But
until then, go play with them.
Someday, I'll see you again.
