Your Voice Was All I Heard
Summary: A poem I wrote. Even though you can love someone with all of your heart, they aren't always nice in return.
Breathe.
Keep air circulating.
It helps you to think
But that's just what I don't want to do
So I go.
You welcome me in with a confused smile
And ask me how you can help.
If only you could.
I clarify it is I who has the answers,
Not the questions today.
You nod,
And I tell.
Time begins to blur.
You spoke.
I ran.
People called out,
Asked what was wrong,
Tried to comfort,
But your voice was all I heard.
You find me later.
My face is still red,
My eyes raw.
You caused this
And you know it
So you apologize.
But your mind had already been spoken
And your words fail to pierce my barrier once again.
Your voice was the one I loved to hear.
Isn't it funny that it is the only thing haunting me now?
