Ugh Poem by Desiree Whitamore

this shouldn't have to be another sad, sad story
this shouldn't have to keep you here
this shouldn't have to be my pain written out
and this shouldn't have to take all year

but since last late august
after not seeing you
i slowly caught my breath and saw
you've become part of this noose

and i hate that you hold me back
from the lies i need to be told.
and i hate how sad you make me
but for what i just don't know.

and you shouldn't have to be burdened
by the nothingness i'm sure this will mean
and you shouldn't have to keep waiting
for me to be who i'm meant to be.
