Neglect
Photo by Tammy Gann on Unsplash

Never

Emotionally

Grounded.

Letting

Emotions

Control

Time.

Narcissists

Effortlessly

Giving

Lies,

Expecting

Courtesy;

Twisted.

By M. on Unsplash

Not

Even

Guilt

Lessens

Excessive

Carnal

Traps

Neglected,

Even

Getting

Left out,

Even

Crushing

Truth.

By Nsey Benajah on Unsplash

No one

Ever

Gets

Love---

Everyone

Can't

Tell.

Not

Everything

Goes---

Little

Empathy,

Can't

Trust.

By Simran Sood on Unsplash

Nervousness

Escapes

Girl

Laying,

Endlessly

Crying;

Trapped.

Nights

Even

Growing

Louder,

Everyone

Causes

Trauma.

By Vinicius "amnx" Amano on Unsplash

Nights

End

Gaslighting;

Liquid

Emotions

Cause

Trouble.

Normal

Ends.

Grace

Listens.

Evenly

Creeping

Temper.

By Nahid Hatami on Unsplash

No one

Educating

Girl,

Leaving

Everything

Crashing,

Tumbling.

Never

Ever

Getting

Less

Emotional,

Causing

Tears.

By Maryna Kazmirova on Unsplash

Nights

Elsewhere

Go;

Live;

End

Chaos,

Turmoil

Nerves

Echo;

Gaslit

Lectures---

Evil

Causes

Trouble.
