PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don’t want you in the dark cave with me 

Please just let me be 

And it’s okay if you see the light and I don’t 

I still profess my inability to live right again 

Don’t hang back with me 

It’s not fair to hold you tight while grip is gone

Happiness disappeared on me back then

And it’s not your fault 

It was always me

I belonged to my pain 

It took my soul, one you didn’t experience 

Every one of my roses wilted away 

Leaving me to my own destruction 

How desperately I want the numbing 

I want it so bad again

The most comfort I ever had 

Spiraling down I go

And I want to believe you care 

I yearn for perfect love, 

but it was gone long ago 

I’m sorry my crossroads intersected 

with your peace 

I promise I’ll stay in my own lane 

I won’t be in the way

Please lie, and tell me it will get better 

I can’t breathe 

Breathe, you say

Looking for my breath 

Don’t you think I would if it was easy?

You call me strong, 

I turn around and I can’t find her

I can hug you so tight 

But I’ll still pull away 

No matter how much I don’t want to let go

I’ll always pull away 

Let me go

It’s okay to let me go

Always remember

My ghost won’t love you any less 

I’ll always care for you from afar 

From my empty chair
