Sarah Tripp

You've hurt me more than you could imagine.
You've made me cry a thousand tears,
think a thousand thoughts.
I felt a thousand daggers pierce my heart.
...

...

I can no longer focus,
on the dearest things in my life.
My mind is congested with you.
Your eyes, your smile.
...

...

I write.
Not for the sake of others,
but for the unwinding.
My mind flows
...

I lay still
Waiting for the waves to wash over me.
It stimulates my body.
I let go of everything.
...

My shadow hangs over into your light
But you don’t seem to notice me.
My cries, my screams.
They all blend into the constant drone of excitement in your life.
...

...

No one to talk to.
No one to answer me.
No one to confide all my secrets with.
You used to be there.
...

I wish I was in your arms every minute of the day.
For you to hold me, and whisper in my ear.
To tell me that you love me,
But those are all just fantasy stories.
...
