This feeling of you,
It’s on me,
All the time
It is stuck,
And I don’t think it will ever come off,
I am drowning in this feeling of you,
Suffocating.
It would be okay
If I had wanted to,
But I didn’t.
You took my choice away
Ruined me
I put on a brave face
But I don’t feel brave
I feel scared
And
Pathetic
Like it’s my fault
But
It is not my fault
That you took something that wasn’t yours
That you took it,
And it was nothing to you,
You took a piece of me
And it meant nothing.
A Brave Face

Goodness. This one left me speechless.l, especially when I got to the revelation. The allegory of suffocation is used very effectively here. Tragic but beautiful write.
Tragic is right, thank you for such kind words Cyrus.
Tragedy always makes the best poetry.
This.. This lived up to that billing.
Well done, my friend!
Thank you so much for giving my poem a read 🙂
Great atmosphere in this poem! It reminds me of those dreams that you have that are really distressing, but still take forever to wake up from if that makes sense. Anyways great write!
Thank you so much!
The tears are for the experience, not for the poem which was great. Thank you God that you turn evil to good.
I agree with the tears for the experience but I feel so much stronger because of it too, thank you for reading my poems, it really does mean a lot
