Abandon

Waking Without You

By Natalie FelixPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I'm crushed and broken

Melting into an abyss of alone

Faking my way through conversations

Laughing through the pain

I apologize...I'm wrong

I don't...I'm wrong

I can't get it right when the rules keep changing

Without my knowledge

Without my input

Alone in a state of abandon

Weak from a lack of sleep

Teary eyed and red faced

Trapped like a wounded animal

In a love I cannot escape

With no one beside me

In spirit or physically

I fight for my voice to be heard

For my truth be found

For my boundaries to be respected

For my love to return

To heal with me

To wake next to me

About the Creator

I am an old soul with many stories in my head...from many lifetimes. Some are true. Some less so.
