Words Unsaid

Summary:

A collection of poetry to express the words my mouth cannot. Chapter specific trigger warnings will be included in the notes of related chapters.

Chapter 1: Company

Chapter Text

Words from my heart pour from my fingertips, for my mouth cannot speak, and my keyboard keeps me company.

Chapter 2: Your Ghost, My Despair

Chapter Text

I wish I had more warning,
Like a sign;
Something to prepare me
For this sudden sadness,
This immense emptiness.

This gaping hole left in my heart
That I thought had healed.
These intense waves of grief,
And this unshakable longing, for you.
For us.
It’s tearing me apart.

I miss you in my waking moments,
I’m haunted by your ghost in my dreams.
And although you are still alive,
To me you died years ago,
When we went our separate ways.

The spark that we shared, remained ‘til the end.
But ultimately, it just wasn’t meant to be.
You weren’t good for me,
And I wasn’t good for you.
I know it was for the best,
But I don’t miss you any less.

Chapter 3: I Still Miss You

Chapter Text

I still miss you.

I still think of you.

I still dream of you.

I still cry about you.

I still want you.

...I still need you.

Chapter 4: Without You

Notes:

This is an older entry that I'm not super proud of, but it helped me cope at the time I wrote it, so I figured I'd share it anyway.

Chapter Text

Without you, I am nothing

Our break feels like eternity

Perpetual suffering with uncertainty of the future

 

Your silence when I need you most, stings

It's salt in my wounds; wounds that you caused 

You've thrown me away, what do you expect me to do? 

 

You know I'm not well

You sent me home that night when I was vulnerable

One call in the morning, and that was that

 

You have people you can turn to,

I do not

You have people to support you,

I do not

You have family here you can talk to, hold and hug...

I do not

Chapter 5: This is Real

Notes:

Another older writing, not my best work for sure, but maybe it will resonate with others. Trigger warning for implied sui thoughts

Chapter Text

If no one cared, 
How would you feel?
If they thought it was all a lie,
How would you deal? 


If everyday you wanted to die?
And they just didn't believe you,
How you were feeling inside,
They said that it wasn't true.


That it's just a bad day,
It's just a phase,
It won't stay,
But that's not the case.


And YOU know it.


And YOU feel it.


And it has consequences, you see them.


(But they don't)


You're feeling grim.


(And they won't)


Nothing inside but pain. 
And hurt.
They look at you with disdain.
And so you revert.


Back to who you were before.
You pretend to be happy.
"Don't walk out that door."
But in truth you're feeling crappy.


They say they love you. "We're here for you."
You want to believe them, but it's lies.
"No matter what you do."
And everyday, another part of you dies. 


You hope that one day, maybe,
You will finally be able to heal.


That they will see.
That this is REAL.


And it's happening NOW.


You'll get help.
They won't let you down.
They'll step in. They're understand how you felt.


You won't have to be in pain,
They'll believe you, finally.
And you won't have to live in vain.
