You’re searching through my blog
For answers I’d given had you asked
Because I’m an open book
You’re the one behind a mask
Did you listen to my playlist
On your drive out of town?
I can see what you saw
Is that why you broke down?
You unraveled at my words
About you breaking my heart
Antagonizing me for writing about it
Like you had no part
You never let me know you
You never wanted to commit
So when I’ve said “hey stranger”
Just know that I really meant it

Under it all it’s me
I’m hidden behind these lies
Nobody can see
The pain behind my eyes
Maybe they’re blind
No one can see
All of this pain
It’s killing me
Locked up in these chains
So much like a web of lies
Not knowing how to be free
Knowing someday everyone dies
Lost in the pain
It’s out of control
I’m losing my sain
Goodbye to my soul

Staying in your life felt like solving a puzzle
When none of the pieces seem to fit
The shape appears to match without lining up
And I’m stubborn so it takes a lot for me to quit
The puzzle was hindering as the years passed by
But I was determined for so long to make it work
Now the puzzle sits like a story on my shelf
Because I was the only one doing the legwork
Note: This was actually the last poem that I finished this year. I’ve started many, and I will post later next year once they’re complete. For now, I’m going to pause while I draft my yearly recap and then dig through my old poems to continue sharing things I wrote in the past. I hope you all have a great New Year!
