Due dates
September 14
I'm not sure why I keep writing this date down
It's all just shattered glass
And muffled screams
now replacing  rose petals pressed between books
In hope of preserving them forever
Even though they're loosing their look
I feel like a broken record
Skipping in repeat
"Well you said forever"
Leave me now
Please don't make an effort.
I don't want to be left feeling like
I'm yours forever.
March 2
I wish this date would leave my head
If not I'm left lying in bed
Feeling nothing
If not pain.
I mean hell the memories are all in vain.
Thinking about what could have been
Instead of what this became.
A hollowed pit
In my stomach
A place you left me sobbing
on a porch at 12 AM
begging you to stop it,
Stop it please be quiet for just a minute.
But I'm left filling it
With made up words like empathetic phrases.
Promises
That are broken now
Were made today that I didn't think would go away.
Go away.
It's been all day but I'll try my best
and give it a break
A break from feeling so distressed
Over something so meaningless.
To you.
These due dates come up all so quick.
