I don’t

know how I feel lately

for one moment I’m happy.

And I understand the ups and downs

but, now I don’t want to understand for

it all feels like lies and nothing makes sense.

This overwhelming feeling that everything is going to come crashing down around me.

Is so strong that I think I will know before

it happens and in the end I will be able to

walk away from this situation.

The bruises will fade but the truth

of that day will still stung years from now.
