Stop

Stop

A Poem by Michelle Rachel
"

...

"
Is it too much, too late
To look through the pain, tears, and hate? 
I can't take much more of this utter lack of respect
It's not you, it's me. 

The words are like a disaster waiting to happen
And if they do, I don't think I could stop them
But at least I'd have comfort that I knew they were coming
All along
I don't wanna stay here
I just wanna be left alone
Left to my thoughts and my devices
Not worried about, but I know it won't happen
My devices are right here next to me,
But they're all turned off
Because I let my walls be broken down
I let people know the real me,
And now I'm hurting beyond comprehension
Not understanding of a single thing
This solitary tear that runs down my face
I wish I could say I was ashamed
But I know it's there for a reason
It's not you, it's me.

I don't know how to pen these words, 
So I do the best that I can
You moved so far away, and under the circumstances
I'm surprised I'm still in one piece
I wish I could see your face only one more time,
Unfortunately for me, I know it won't happen
You are my life, and I know that two years isn't a long time
But in this life, this moment in time, 
It feels like an eternity. 
I can't really make you understand what it is I'm going through
All of the disappointment, anger, and unjust hate
Is circling my mind like a scavenger waiting for its prey to die 
So that it can have just one more meal before it becomes a meal itself.
Life is cruel, love, don't forget it,
It will chew you up and spit you out
Only to throw you into a messy storm
And you get so messed up in your head that you can't see
that it's not you, its me. 

Well, this is the end of this work, 
but not of our chances
I know two years seems like a long time,
But you turn 17 next month,
Then 18 a year after that,
So really it's more like one
I just say it's two to make it seem 
like time is moving faster than it should
Or at least that's my conspiracy theory
It's both of us, together
Its you, here beside me.
