When someone leaves


When someone leaves, it really sucks.

They walk out of your life with such ease, such indifference

Taking with them the vital parts of you

As if every organ is being ripped from inside you,

Stolen, broken

Blood gushing from within

Struggling to breathe

Gasping for air with nowhere to hold as your lungs are missing

 

You stand still on shattered glass

Careful as not to make any sudden movements

It hurts but you don’t want to make them leave quicker

So you swallow the pain

Like the way loneliness swallows you

 

As you beg and plead for them to stay

They don’t look back,

You’re a fading thought  

Disappearing in the background

As you replay the memories over again

The memories over again

The memories over again

 

The human mind is a beautiful thing

It controls the body,

Contains your thoughts and desires

It makes you unique.

But when I break, it follows in my footsteps

Morphs into broken record that never stops

Repeating all the memories that I wish to forget

My brain is stolen by him too

 

Nothing but a hollow shell is left behind

Decorated to please others with fake smiles and fake laughs

No one can know I’m empty

No one can know I’m broken

No one can know

I don’t want them to leave too
