&ldquo;Time doesn&#039;t run backward, you know, and things that have been done can&#039;t be undone, no matter how hard you wish.&rdquo; <br /> ― Mary Downing Hahn, The Doll in the Garden


you swallowed me up--

slowly, but surely,

you gained my trust

and then tore me apart


i want it back


shaky hands grip the ends of my hair

bleached, dyed, made mine,

held together with the thread

sewn into my smile


keep me up


bags and hats and things that will one day

shrivel and turn to dust--

identical,

everything that held meaning to me


let it just be mine


ones i love, things i love--

the yellows,

my possessions,

stolen, why


could nothing ever be enough


two trips around the sun

and all that i made was gone--

yours, it always had to be

for you


but you never wanted me


a piece of myself still lives in you

the one that gave you acceptance

and a shoulder to rest

it’s something i cannot get back


it isn't mine anymore

even my words

the only part left that holds

my sound, my voice,

my nothing-- not mine


it’s your everything


you needed everything.

this is probably the most in my head i've felt in a long time. someone is taking that from me. i won't let them be me.
