Side Effects... of Solitary Confinement
I cried, cried and cried some more for you to come back
I was too young; I didn’t know you would be gone forever,
Still I wanted to do nothing
You were the only one I would ever have
And now there’s no more
What happened to it just being me and you?
So I blamed myself, did you not love me anymore
I let this happen
Years and years go by and I finally begin to understand
Once you’re gone there’s no coming back, I went to see this lady
And there was never nothing said, there was nothing wrong….
So they thought,
I cry myself to sleep every night waiting to be with you again
What is sleep anymore?
Big bags under my eyes and still I wouldn’t talk
Finally one day I decided to talk, but it was the wrong words to use
Everything and everyone angered me
And it’s all because of you
Losing you at 5
Wonder what you would be like if you were still alive
Something wrong with this poem?
