See you at midnight

I wanted to scream

I spoke in a soft voice.

 


I wanted to cry

I fought back the tears.

 


I heard you say I was very, very, very happy, so ...


I smiled at you.

 


But now I am alone with myself. Now I wince. In the darkness of my room. 


A silent room. Deafening thoughts. A cacophony in my head. I can't hear the sound of my feelings. I'm a girl who doesn't know how she feels.


I stare at my ceiling like it can tell me who I am. It sighs. And I look at its face. It's as pale as my sheet of paper.


My words are late.


See you at midnight, we promised.

Sometimes I want to write so badly that I can't write at all.
