Confused

A Poem

By Mandii LazoPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

An image never seen before

Seeing it across the room

It's different, I am drawn to it

Impossible to know so soon

Insecurity ran through my veins

Embarrassment shot my mind

Hidden inside a cave

Nothing left to find

The image died out

It was lost for days

Thinking it was gone forever

No words left to say

I found my way back to it

Image became more clear

As I grew more attached

My soul filled with fear

It grabbed me by the neck

Before I could speak

Choking me tightly

I couldn't breathe

My heart a broken puzzle

Nothing more to analyze

Emptiness was my drug

I was completely paralyzed

Gathering the pieces of my heart

I turned my emotions off

Letting go of this image

I just moved on

But I would see it here and there

As the days passed by

I would see it more and more

It was always by my side

Where it stands with me

I'm unsure, things have changed

But I go back to the day

Where it didn't feel the same

As I thought to myself

That I was completely over

I finally accepted

That all this time I wasn't sober

I was drunk in all my lies

Now the truth is rushing in

Handcuffs on my wrists

And I'm stuck in prison

I committed a crime

That I can't take back

If the image ever knew

I would have a heart attack

These feelings inside

Are nothing but a sin

So I bury them deep

Where it can never get in

Breaking off the locks

Is complete suicide

Cuz I know for a fact

YOU will never be mine
