Take it back

shadowbones

I wake up and I hate everything

Another day like this

Is it what you see

Do you really believe

 

I'm just pretending

This is all I know 

Take it for another day

Happy faces fade away

 

Wake up to shame myself

Hold on to past

Breaking up dirt

Dispersion of the hurt

 

You give no warning

All of this is done

Before we can get up

Get away and run

 

Get away and run

 

Because I am just pretending

Take it all away

Never wanted to live

Just our games

Anyway

  • Comment from author about the poem: Take it day by day but these memories fade away. Flush it down the kitchen sink. Where do we eat? Drink and think? When you're not around- I keep moving. Ghosts in my head. Insects in my bed. A home without a roof. No walls to guard me. Take it all away
