Lost
Who is this person staring back at me?
I think I’ve lost myself
With each sweet word
Twisting my head
With beautiful lies
With every “I’m sorry”
And promises it won’t happen again
With each insult
Soaked into my skin
With every word unspoken
Silence gripping my throat
Willing me not to speak of my emotions
Do you know who I am?
My hands feel unfamiliar to my flesh
Twinkling eyes have been replaced
With dark pools of water
Ready to spill its banks
Sadness hides behind my laughter
Peeking through forced smiles
My face lacks its usual glow
Body numb
I am no longer myself
