Let's Not Talk About It

Crying

A quiet pain

Sobbing

A loud misery

This subject

Constantly brought up

But quietly put back inside a box

We've already talked about it

Lots of times

You feel bad

Because I'm hurt

You can't stop that

This liquid that stains my cheeks each week

Is because I love you

My friends don't like you

Your friends don't like me

Why don't we listen?

Why are we so attached to our poison?

I don't know how you feel

But I am suffocating

Drowning in Anger, Betrayal, and Jealousy

Dying from Pain, Abandonment, and Sadness

Why can't I be like them?

What do I lack?

Is it because I was so stupid all those months ago?

I am sorry

I regret it

Every damned minute I talk to you

I regret it more

I hate me for it

I love you

Damn it all I love you

The other boys stung

It hurt

But now these girls

This is going to kill me

When I think about it

My body shakes

In anger and pain

Tears threaten to fall

I no longer can breathe

Why do you do this to me?

How do you get in my mind?

Are you just another fling for me?

If it is...

This is the most painful one

Why do I feel this way?

You are not mine

You made that clear

My twin with benefits

It's killing me

But I refuse to talk about it

I hate have serious conversations with you

I love when we are both happy

When we are just chilling

But something turns up

And I want to cry all over again

Why is there no time machine?

So I don't repeat those damned sins

It's too late

I'm giving up now

I don't want to talk about it again

I am sorry for this poem

But I had to get it out

Had to drain my system

Please

I really don't want to talk

It hurts

Can't be serious with you

I truly love you

Accept that as my answer

Just for a while
