FinifugalSpitfire
Her words reached millions
Microscopically invading the minds of many
Crossing seas
And crawling onto lands
Her voice wasn't loud
Nor was it quiet
But it was vital
And needed to be heard
It demanded attention
For everyone in the world
To hear such a lovely sound
Bitter smiles exchanged in the dark
Hands holding onto something invisible
Grasping for a love that isn't theirs
Mine. Mine. Mine.
They whisper
Tapping at her head
Knocking on her door
She slammed it shut
Hiding from the world
Hiding from everything that gave her pain
Oh silly thieves
Leave her alone
She never knew
How he'd waltz into her life
Make a quiet impression
At first she lingered
Then he left her mind
But dear he came back
His award-winning smile
And perfect boy facade
And it all started with a hello
Tired lips
Petty excuses
Harsh words spoken
In the dim of the night
It's the cruel reality
Sinking in
Sinking like a ship
Daggers striking heavy chests
Twisting and turning
Breaking and bending
Stinging
Oh selfish minds
Stop playing with the naive
Oh wicked players
Stop murdering hopes
Search your heart
Peaceful ones
Find out how it works
Peer at it as close as you can
It may leave you one day
Stranded ones
Looking for solace
Thrown in the deep end
Do not leave it
It's a crime scene
Do not let others in
Close the door
It's the best you can do
Sometimes loneliness is the best cure
For realizing what's important
Do you know what's important?
Breathe.
You need to start breathing.
It starts with a simple action.
Apologize to your crippled lungs.
You should inhale more.
You have tasted death.
Apologize.
Your heart needs a job.
It needs to carry oxygen.
Stop suffocating yourself.
Your time is not done.
Do what you need to.
Just please.
Breathe.
Air is the best medicine for your broken heart.
