A Poem

I have cried oceans over boys who did not want or see me who lacked the ability to appreciate what I brought to the table and yet, they wanted me to adore them.

I have dived to the ground of unhappy relationships imagine each water molecule being an argument or a bad memory.

It still pushes the air out of my lungs.

I am longing to swim back to the surface and yet, I find myself being pulled down as though something in me desperately wants me to drown.

Perhaps I am scared of my own reflection.

Grieving has become a time of day since I came home and even when the sun sets and everything is painted in golden light I feel a strange sense of numbness.

In the evenings I often sit with depression and we have late-night conversations that make the flames of the candles bend only so they can listen to us.

I have been here before but it feels strangely foreign like I am experiencing the hurt, the pain, the resignation for the first time.
