Drowning in Disillusion
disorienting pain- a shattered heart and sadness
I am shattered
down for the count
the blows don’t stop
no one is there to pick me up
I will reprogram myself
Never forget this pain
Never need anyone
Why would I want to be hurt
because I allowed someone to be close to me?
Relationships are too difficult
they hurt too much
they hurt you and say it’s love
The payback for trusting and caring
is the close proximity
from which they strike you
Humans are strange creatures
Another wound, another cut
I wish to be excluded from this game
How can I exist in this world
when those that should care, hurt?
How do I get away
where is there to run
and what would be there when I stop running?
Where are the exits if I want to escape?
the doors if I need to walk out?
What if what is ahead is never better than what is behind?
