A..sad poem.

Have you ever gone to the bottom of a pool,
And hoped that you couldn’t come back up for air?
Have you ever been at the edge of a cliff?
And had to resist the urge to jump off of it?

Have you ever watched the person who said they loved you..
Walk out the door and never return?
Leaving after hurting you so bad,
That you couldn’t feel it if a tiger bit you,

They try and return,
To reenter themself back into your life,
Bring with them the memories,
The pain and the sense of hopelessness,

You try to escape,
But you can’t,
No matter how far away you run,
It stays with you like a tick in your leg,

You run from it,
It runs with you,
You try to cut it out,
But it just cuts you,

The words rush back just like the wind,
Then you snap just like a twig,
You lay there crying on the ground,
While no-one notices you around,

Then it hits you like glass in the wind,
That they will never even change,
And you will always feel the pain,
You keep it locked down within,

Never letting anyone in,
That’s what your mind will do to you,
Preventing good happening to you.

I don’t know, I felt like sharing.
