Screaming For Help

Screaming for help but it’s something that’s encased, my tears fall dry, they’re a part of me erased, I speak with my body cause I’m not sure how to say the words, sometimes I wonder if my silence is being heard, 
Wish my mind had a valve so I could let out the memories, wish that we didn’t have to end & you were more than a friend to me, wish my heart was a muscle as strong as they say but I feel it breaking down & feeling decayed, wish my eyes could cry an ocean & you could swim through my pain, is this really how I feel or is it all in my brain,
Suffocated with these thoughts of being alone, I see your number calling but I can’t answer the phone, Loving me lonely, you must be aiming to tear me down, use to wear a smile, now I’m stuck in a frown, you said, you’d never leave me, turns out that was a lie, no, not on the out but I’m dying inside, tears turned to stress, can I let that  pour, what hurts the most, is you love me no more, veins slowly on the rise, pain trying to escape, thoughts disappearing like a cloud full of vape, feeling defeated but I can’t accept the loss, memories are like an album that I turn & I toss.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Loss is always difficult to deal with. This is a deeply emotive piece of poetry..
