Broken For You

Wild Child's picture

 

you are around me in 

everything I do

 

I’ll be fine, 

and then break. 

falling apart 

in all the wrong ways

 

And when I do,

when I fall apart

I mean,

 

It’s like I fall 

apart with all the

hurt and 

loss,

and 

pain

 

That is so constant

I forget it’s

there.

 

At least I forget,

until I start to cry,

 

And can’t stop 

because if I do

I’ll break. 

 

But I break as I 

cry silently

my body wracked with

sobs too big

to hold any more.

 

I thought I missed you

more then I could miss 

anything 

 

But that was before

I lost you.

Thank you

Thank you so much! 

I acutally didn't like this one as much when I wrote it, but the more I read it, the less I want to edit it.

I think my favorite thing

I think my favorite thing about it is the stark honesty. It's like reading hemingway almost; very simple on the surface but so full of emotion and there's this entire story underneath the words that you have to try to compose in your mind. In my opinion anyway. I thought it was very well-crafted.
