I fight everything
To not turn back
To not run away
But my eyes still
Land on her face
My feet become rooted
In the ground
My heart twists
In my chest
Reminding me of
Her
I know I can never
Return here
But that sweet
Little girl needs
Me
All the strength
Left in me
Cranes back my
Neck to
The road ahead
I can't stop
My feet weigh
Me down
But I pick them
Up and place
Them forward
One step
At a time
Still I'll never
Forget the little girl
I used to be
Posted in response to the challenge Shoulder.
For years when I would look at your face, I saw my future, my life, my whole world in your eyes, but today I for once just saw your face. The same lips that I had once longed to kiss, the same eyes that I would get lost in, yet I felt nothing.
I'll push my dull heart down
Anytime you need me to
And you'll never hear me
Beg you under my breath
Not to leave me
You looked at me
Like I'm a horrible
Burden just now
I look in the mirror
Like any girl my age
But I'm repulsed in horror
At what is on stage
I look at those numbers
Wait for them to go down again
