"Exposed"

A Poem by AssonanceWriter

Exposed

If I direct the words that you say to me towards you

How would you feel if it were you?

Would you feel hurt?

Would you be sad

Would you want to disappear

Because sometimes silence is just not enough

When you hide away

Not for attention but to be alone

Even though you are not seeking for a reaching hand

You still want to know if someone is thinking of you-

Even if it’s little but when you find out the truth.

It just hurts

When the wound is too deep you have to dig a grave for it and put it inside of a box and bury it

Even though the emotions are alive

It cries out but you have to let it be known

I don't need you anymore.

I don’t need you

Everyone becomes an enemy

The words from your lips disappear

You are immune to feel

No one knows anything-

They just assume and it doesn’t even hurt anymore

Your tears have dried

The day is new but everything else darkens

You became the definition of “Confinement”

Everyone else just disappears and suddenly the affliction visits again

“I need you”

You hear it whispering but the coaxing awareness releases the chains from the buried box

“I don’t need you” you convince yourself

You run away from the intonation

“I need you” It comforts you

The words from their mouths attacks your fragile soul

How would you feel if it were you

Even if it’s little, This is the truth

Everyone degenerate to become acquainted

The words from your lips revive

You exempt to be exposed to feel encore

No one knows anything

They just assume and now it hurts even more

Your tears have to abide

If I direct the words that you say to me towards you.

How would you feel if it were you?

Would you feel hurt?

Would you be sad?

Would you want to disappear

Because sometimes silence is just not enough

This made me just picture someone splitting their soul and burying it in a grave but are never able to completely abandon it, always drawn back to it, and wanting to undig it and let it live inside you but fear it will destroy you - or worse, make you destroy yourself. Love this. So damn powerful.
