The Green Monster of Agonizing Ifs
My mind is in constant torment.
You say you love me, and she's a friend.
You say there is nothing to worry about.
Why then, is my heart clouded with doubt?
Intrusive thoughts plague my inner being..
Every smile, every word uttered, I go on imaging..
I want to bury my turbulent mind in a deep coffin.
So, I do not have to, continually cry and think so often.
Why do I ask questions to add fuel to the “ammo?”
You answer all my questions but, do I really know?
You still come home and sleep in my bed.
Then why does my heart continue to feel “misled?”
When you leave; my heart grows empty.
The green monster starts in again, with unending ifs of agony.
