It didn't work
written by twistedmind3303:21 AM 11/17/04Far off in the distance, I hear a silent ring.
I wonder who could be calling and then I remember.
You.
I stumble to the phone.
I am greeted with a raspy voice.
Wrong number.
I climb back on the couch.
Shut my eyes.
Try to sleep.
It didn’t work.
I’m still awake in this nightmare.
You’re never coming back.
You left me all alone.
All alone…
Just like before.
It’s all the same.
You never cared.
You left me here to be engulfed by normalness.
They’re sucking the life out of me and you are nowhere to be found.
I’m here still, crawling on the ground.
I’m trying to hold on with all of my strength.
It didn’t work.
I fell.
Hard.
Now I feel numb and useless.
I feel cold when I’m surrounded by comfort.
I need you here again.
I need your strength.
Just the pull of your hand bringing me back.
Maybe you’ll come back.
Maybe I can convince my mind like I have my body.
Maybe sleep will heal it all like they say.
I try my hardest not to cry.
Not to break down.
Not to jump.
It didn’t work. |
