Calling Out Your Name Again

Folder: 
MARINA

The world is full of madness,

At least I thought I could escape it- but

You found me,

I always knew you would.



The disgusted stares don't bother me so much anymore,

The biting words are all that I have to listen to.

The violence is almost as colorful as it used to be, and

I only wish you were there to enjoy it with me.



Darling, how is your life?

Are your smiles as forced ,

Every step as pain-filled,

Every word as bitter, as mine?



I wish I knew.



I'm calling out your name again,

This time it's a strained whisper -

The kind only heard in your dreams

The one that brings tears.



I'm calling out your name again,

On the days when I can no longer go on -

The days when I have those beautiful, tragic

Breakdowns.



Calling out....again, and again..





I choke back nostalgic tears as I see you

down the hallway,

I whisper your name again.

And again.

And again.





I'm calling out your name again,

This time it's in my dreams,

Watching you walk away...

I scream.





Goodbye,

Goodbye,



Darling.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dedicated to the hatred and numbness that keeps me going on and on each day. I see your lips are freezing over, darling. Cheer up.
