one a.m.
1 am, my guilty conscience is overloding
the feelings of frustration.
The things i should've said, should've done
and all the things i shouldn't have.
Its 1 am, the pit in my stomach growing darker.
The memories that i hoped would never come back,
they're here.
and i toss and turn needing an escape.
1 am, the lump in my throat holding back
all the things i need to say, but wont,
suffocating me.
I gasp for air, holding on to one more strand of hope,that you still love me, that you still need me.
1 am, the regret is eating at me, piece by piece,
the manipulation worked.
Blaming myself for your actions, i dont want it.
Any of it, take it all, take everything.
1 am, they're coming, the uncontrollable tears are coming.
The storm will pass right?
Maybe.
If it doesnt kill me first.

Obviously a heartbreak inspired me to write this piece. Its literally 1:39 a.m. I wanted to write it while the thoughts and feelings were all fresh, so i know there is room for revision but this is raw. This is deep. This is me. This will be me for awhile. Im hoping that someone will read this and gain an ounce of hope. Im hoping someone will cry. Funny right? I want someone to read my piece an cry because they can realate, because they understand. I know crying always helps me.
