Relief

by schmetterling   Aug 19, 2019


Seeing you
Is what broke me.
You ignored me,
And pretended
Like I didn’t exist
When I was right
In front of you.
You acted
Like everything was okay
While I sat in the bathroom
And emptied myself.
I thought about
Saying something,
But there were
No words.
You looked
Completely fine
As if nothing
Was wrong.
I couldn’t do it
Anymore.
I couldn’t stay strong.
I had to do it
Because otherwise
Something else would’ve happened.
You broke me
Into pieces
I could not assemble again.
You took some
Parts of me
With you.
So I remain
Without these missing parts.
I wish
Things were different
Because I’m so lost
Without you.
I can’t function
The way I used to
Because of this.
I’ve never felt
Such agony
In my entire life.
It keeps getting harder
Instead of easier,
And I don’t know
What to do.
