“Loss”
No one can feel this
But me
As I avoid memories
That give me tremors
So much loss
In such a short amount of time
How hard has life
Tried to kill me
Hold it inside
Push it down
No one wants to hear this
They want happy thoughts
And dancing feet
But I’ve got nothing but heartbreak
From the inside of childrens’ rooms
To the courtyard of a school
To the empty parking lot of a trailer park
There is nothing left inside
But I’m supposed to make it work
And pay all of the fines
I’m supposed to be strong and calm
I’m supposed to be thankful for slaps across the face
I fear I’m dead inside
From too much hurt
I don’t know how to make it out of this
In one piece
I’d give everything I no longer have for arms to hold me
And hands to caress the tears off my cheek
