Emmie Untitled Poem #4

Wide eyed

waiting

knife thrusting into heart

safe place

security blanket

question asked

are you walking away?

Denial

can see

can feel

lie

sense it

floating on the air

blending into notes

balanced upon keyboard

melancholy

gritting teeth

not wanting anyone to see

that buried within

heart still beats

given again

to promise to be there

to promise not to hurt

and now…..

Tears

slip over lips

sight clouded

saying good bye

another person

who said

who promised

who swore

to never hurt

leaving again

because

unlovable

undesirable

curl back within

let forth a whimpered roar

turn

head down

walk away

it is easier

to ignore

knife twisting

once emotions are pushed aside.
