my heart is so tired. -rudyard kipling

it’s harder to give up on the light

when the people who love you

have made sure it’s a part of you

after they’ve made sure

you know they love you

it’s hard to forget that love

but when sentenced back to hell

it’s harder to believe in it

you’ll be tempted

everyone is

at first

then you’ll feel the bile rise in your throat

when you miss feeling loved

and you’ll have to tell yourself it’s over

-that will be worse

don’t give in to hope

-it’s only there for everyone else

only makes them feel better about the hell you’re in

stop looking for the good things

-it hurts less when you can’t touch them

forget that you have been marked by love

forget it’s touch

forget what safety feels like

forget the ones who brought you here

they are gone now

it’s all gone now

give in

succumb

hope is vertigo

love is nausea

the numbness will keep you safe

forget about life

-you weren’t meant to revel in its beauty

you are haunted

bound by the rules of this game you have been forced to play

this game

called survival

  1. Honestly don’t know what you were going for… sounds sad though! (well everything we post sounds sad, but this sounded extra sad). Hope you feel better! And it was good writing!

  3. “Bound by the rules of this game you have been forced to play, this game called survival.” OK WOW. I know I should expect to be emotionally ruined whenever I read one of your pieces by this point, but you still manage still to get me everytime. I don’t even know what I can say at this point that hasn’t already been said. Just wow.
