Leaves Me Everytime

Folder: 
The Other Side

Anger spills out of me

as if my heart was leakinh

from pain in my chest

tightening, incontrollably.

A sense of expected abandonment

or loss of everything.

Why does it surprise me

When I let my heart open

people step on it

Like a cigarette butt no one wants.

I should know better

after all these years

of trying to be loved

with no one to welcome me

with open arms.

The distance grows

my heart remains heavy

Everyone leaves at some point

leaving me alone

As if I were one with the darkness

As if I belong there

to rot away

To grow small

within my own mind

and body.
