An ocean sprang up in your wake,
To send me drowning in tears,
I wonder what you’d think,
Of the ruins you left behind,
If they haunt you in your afterlife,
Or are they my sins to bear?

Enough
I needed you,
Hell, I waited for you,
But you never showed,
Was it because I wasn’t enough?
Silence
I have so much I wish I could talk to you about,
So many stories to share and memories to make;
I wish I could tell you about my first day at work,
Or how I’ve been thinking of learning something new,
How I followed your advice and saw more of the world.
I’d even talk to you about the weather when I ran out of news to share.
Hear you chuckle and reminisce over days gone by,
Share a table outside on your bench, a cup of tea in hand,
We’d watch the world float by on clouds,
I’d give anything to hear you over the silence I’ve had since you left.
Sorry
Sitting across from me,
Palms on the table,
Eyes blank and searching,
I wish you’d just say it,
Tell me you’re sorry,
Even if you’re not,
So we can try again.
Option
I am an option,
One you’ll tire of,
When another of yours,
Posts a sexier photo than I.
I don’t belong
Am I tied to a place-
That sends me sinking,
Into an abyss of self-loathing,
A weight in the pit of my stomach,
Knowing I don’t belong here.
It’s okay
Honey, it’s okay,
You can ignore it,
It’s only my heart.
Strangled Thoughts
My voice is strangled,
Words cut off from the source,
I wish so much to tell you things,
But if I do, I wonder what you’ll think-
Of me by the end.
Drowning
I thought I could tell you everything,
Then I realised that by doing that,
I pushed myself further out to sea,
And now I’m drowning.
Our Place
I used to stop by that place,
Memories of that night-
Haunting me like ghosts,
Only when they flattened it,
Did I know I could move from that spot.
