Your Victim

I don't want what you've given me
I don't need the depression
Long ago I learned this lesson
Don't be fooled by false impressions

The last time I felt this 
somebody died
It was six days latter 
I learned and cried

The time I felt the silence growing
was just like this a time of not knowing
I never told myself not to love this hard
Knowing all along it could break my heart

Three more days and I should know
Did you die, were you killed
will I ever know

Dear TS, your poem artistically is filled with raw emotion and a sense of vulnerability. The way you express your reluctance to accept the pain and depression inflicted upon you is both powerful and poignant. The haunting imagery of past experiences adds depth to your words, revealing the weight of past trauma. I loved how you capture the struggle of grappling with uncertainty and the fear of further heartache. This is such a deeply personal and evocative piece of writing. - Blessings, Daniel
