I am overwhelmed with sadness as I watch you walk away. <br />Even though I know you’ll be there when I wake. <br />I feel the tears run down my face. <br />And the loneliness becomes my favorite place. <br />There’s not comfort here anymore. <br />My body feels so out of place in this world of amazing grace. <br />No longer am I feeling safe. <br />Left out from my thoughts that race. <br />As I lay in bed at night I cry myself to sleep. <br />I wake up in a massive heap. <br />My head is throbbing from everything I keep. <br />It’s like a funnel draining down. <br />Starting at my head and working its way around, <br />Until the life is gone from my body. <br />I lie there on the floor trying to think of a way to not believe you anymore. <br />All things you've done for me I need to give away. <br />The kindness and the friendship you gave me, <br />Is nothing short of a home for me to stay. <br />I cannot stand hurting you while I pretend to feel. <br />Please forgive me for what I‘ve done, <br />And remember you kept me from my hurt inside and that should feel real.<br /><br />Amber Zitzloff<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-can-t-hurt-you-anymore/
