The Impossibilities

The surface crumbles,

My world quakes,

The tension thickens,

The air unbreathable,

My muscles strain,

My body shakes,

When will it ever be enough?

_

The bar is so high,

My failure is so low,

My dreams and hopes destroyed,

I need a moment,

Just please stop pressing,

I didn't want you to go completely silent...

_

My lungs are torn,

My heart is broken,

The words leave your lips dirty,

"YOU WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH!!"

_

I've reached for the moon,

I aimed too high,

Yet my arrow landed,

Here,

So low,

Broken by the world,

Silenced by your impossible rules.

_

My absence comes after a broken heart,

My spirits crushed,

When did defeat come so fast?

I lay alone,

Defeated,

Overrun,

And yet now you laugh,

HAVE I LEARNED MY LESSON?

_

Days pass by,

Tears are shed,

Friendships are broken,

Questioned,

DID YOU EVER REALLY CARE?

_

You and I,

The gap between us,

The words never spoken,

The love never given,

A wound that never seals,

I'm a broken piece,

With or without you.

I'd rather be apart...

_

My days of misery are over,

Finally, I am free,

The bar has been broken,

The weight lifted,

Still, the memory remains,

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?
