on and on, forever

My eyes: a mirror 
Seeing your face over and over, hundreds of times.
My ears: recorders 
Playing what you said over and over, thousands of times.
My mouth: a ladle 
Pouring out everything I said, plus a few choice words that I only imagined I said, millions of times.
My fingers: iron
Ready to punch out the anger that I felt, when-
My mind: me
Not knowing what I'm supposed to do about this, thinking too much, much too much, billions of times.

    why aren't you talking to me?!
    i could scream 
    i just miss you

    i do want you in my life!
    i love you
    i just 
    can't 
    hold all this up on my own.
    if you don't want to help me carry this,
