riveting emotion in a heart connected by mere thread 

slowly unraveling

look at what I have done to you!

conformed you into my own image of who I want you to be, ignoring how you’ve perceived yourself all along

sadness would reign, sadness should rain ,

but I no longer harbor emotions so it’s pointless 

where is the love that was promised?

where is the hope that you insured me

that would 

rain down like 1000 blessings and quench my soul’s skin? 

my spirit had been dry for many days

i’m replenishing myself on my own

it’s hard when your soul cries

and no one can hear it
