Discomfort Poem by NoName Unidentified

Discomfort



I look outside with stone cold eyes,
I hold my breath so I won't cry.

You saw me and knew all my lies
and you'd always stare into my bright blue eyes.

You offered love, you offered care.
But I'd ignore you and do my hair.

One day you fell, and you fell hard.
I cried as you landed in my arms.

You looked at me and said,
'It's ok' and touched my head.

Now, you're gone and I have no one to hold,
so I feel like a wasted pot of gold.

Depression slowly creeps over me,
I hold the knife and count to three.

Just one stab is all it'll take,
then I'll have no more decisions to make.

I stop and think, of how I can't go on
But then I remember, you were never really gone.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poem about a girl who was giving her boyfriend the cold shoulder. One day he fell down the stairs, and she caught him at the end of the stairs. Now she's in denial and says he's gone, so everyday, trying to kill herself is a daily routine, but right before she does it, she remembers that he is still alive, but in the hospital, so she stops herself. In a way, she has gone cray from the traumatic experience.
