Losing myself; the true me
- A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life.
(Prologue, 7) Romeo and Juliet -
Today she ran away
out the door and out of the canal of my love.
My emotions keep on digressing from
her.
Understandably she's been ripped from the womb of my life
Pride converts any sobs;
weakness it not a characteristic my mind will allow this body to possess.
Everyone seems fine,
sister, brother, brother, sister:
they're fine,
they tell themselves as they apply fake smiles to every aspect of their day.
I'm not fine, I'm no okay,
but you won't see me looking any other way.
I'll wait until the days no longer seem bearable.
I've never experienced the grievance of a death that has not yet occurred, but the moment
I felt the non-existent pulse in your wrist .
I knew, that your true intentions had
been announced and my feelings
had suffocated your lungs from
re-uttering the
those three syllables.
I couldn't help myself but visiting your hospital bed every single hour of every single day, I continued our conversations and
awaited your response. I could feel
my insides decompose as
you lay unconsciously
before me.
Mi amore, please awaken. You hate it
when I oversleep and I feel like a hypocrite
for asking this but:
destiny wants you
back, she told me herself.
Can you try and believe
my lies, because
I'm not sure I do
anymore.
I never really did.
