If you plugged your nose and your mouth while you sneezed, would it come out of your ears or would your head explode?


Turning Away

Watching you walk away
Was more painful than a thousand hells
Seeing the coldness in your eyes
As you said you never cared
Made those thousand hells a paradise
I loved you
And all you did was turn away
What did I do
To make you hate me so
That all you wanted
Was to turn you back
And leave me alone
You were my first real friend
The first person I ever trusted
I thought I meant something
But I guess I was wrong
Now I’m so cold
I can’t feel anything
Nothingness is all you gave me
And now all I can do
Is look her in the eye
As she confesses her love
And turn away

I wrote this in five minutes.
Poetry is not my thing. It's new. And frankly it is quite difficult!
