Literature Text

You thought I was a treasure from heaven,
The description of a wonderful like I have tried
To make my own.
But when you went away,
I cried
I lied to myself, keeping the pain within.
You always said I could understand,
So why have I made a mistake?
Why was I so wrong?
Because this isn’t what you wanted.
I have failed to hear your plea correctly,
And so I suffer a fate like no other,
A corrupt ideal that was turned upside down
Because I was deaf,
Because I was blind,
Because I didn’t love you as much
As I should have,
As much as I could have,
and now you are gone.
I am left a fragment of a dream,
a piece that should have been
Whole.
So when you asked me to love you,
I couldn’t answer.
When you asked me to live,
I created death.
I wouldn’t have been able to face you now,
heaven is not one of my options.
Thrown into a pit,
full of savage desires,
that controlled me,
used me,
and molded me into what I am.
I am a shell without you,
Living in the past,
Killing the future,
Suffocating life.
Here I lie,
watching myself fade away,
the color of life seeps deep into the soil.
Here I lie,
thinking of you,
wishing I could have
pleased you.
Now you mourn,
and I’m alone
waiting for the end,
waiting for the darkness
to take me home…
You don’t have to cry
ANYMORE.
