I Am Struggling Not To Fall Apart
Something I wrote a long time ago.
TORMENT
Don’t push him away. Don’t be too much. Be just right.
Let there be ripples so he knows your heart still beats.
Don’t lose control. Breathe. Keep the torment locked inside.
Let the turbulence scream and rage against bulletproof glass.
Thick. Soundproof. Let the density swallow your pain tonight.
We do not throw stones in glass houses. We sit there, pretty.
Composure is the key that unlocks all the happiness in the world.
Let the pain eat you from the inside out, taking pieces of your soul.
Take the lashings. Save him from the scars. You will survive.
Fight hard, and harder still, to regain control. Let love prevail.
Don’t let him close, don’t let the somber notes of your sorrow escape.
Flutter your lashes as you slowly turn your head to look away.
Don’t let him see the pain in your eyes, you silly little girl.
You are stronger for it. You hold the key to everything.
