In The Wind

by Michaela Sokol

I feel

My heart

Starting to pound; hard.

Against my ribs

Me eyes

Begin wandering.

All around.

I can't bear; to look into yours

So mine, glue to the ground

Your eyes.

Have this shattered glaze

To me; they've become numb

And turned away

This knot.

That I'd buried.

Deep in the pit of my stomach;

Claws it's way up;

Into my throat

I can feel, my eyes,

On the brink of bursting.

But then,

They won't

After years, of being my best friend;

Now you don't even see me

After months, of fighting;

Now we don't even whisper goodbyes

After weeks, of sleepless nights, sobbing;

Now I simply can't find the tears

Empty.

I can not feel a heart,

That once given to you,

So not in my possession.

No longer beating hard against my chest

Because its you who still holds it

Rewired.

I feel,

Nothing now

For nothing besides pain,

Will register in my mind

Paranoid.

I can no longer think,

In ways that I used to

For now every act of kindness,

I have to look for darkness behind it.

Scared.

After years, of being my best friend

After months, of fighting

After weeks, of sleepless nights, sobbing;

Broken.
