Stranger

phantom bride

Hey... hey you, I know you are a stranger,

but do you have a minute?

I have some things killing me inside,

and they are difficult to share.

So be kind, I am rather broken and timid.

The hole in my chest is dark and vacant,

maybe you don't care?

But can you at least fake it?

What can possibly be so wrong with me?

Maybe the reason is that there was never anyone there to hold me?

Or it could be nothing,

I don't know who I am,

I do not know where I come from,

so when things get rough, where do I run?

Oh that's right, there is no where but here,

and here feels like nowhere at all,

no reflection in the mirror, I am but a sad lonely girl,

my smile never fades, there is nothing wrong with me,

can someone please tell me that they see the truth in my eyes?

How naive and foolish of me.

So I come to you today, stranger, shedding my pain,

I hope to never see you again, I would be too ashamed.

You have listened to the voices inside my head,

God bless you .

I don't want you to know me,

so this is where it ends.

        WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for sharing your first Poem. I am pleased that a lot of what you write is retrospective (childhood vent) ! However poetry is always cathartic and I know that i can cleanse (forgotten ?) teenage angst with a retrospective Poem. Pleased you are married and settled ~ Blessings ~ BRIAN (UK)
