Hide and Seek
I count to Twenty
One- I wonder who I am
And where I will go
Two- but I find myself pondering
the thoughts of the time I was
Three- when a time was innocent
and blissful, be
Four- I experienced a heartbreak
so strong it took
5- years to rocover from..
It hurt like
Six- bricks on top of my chest
I could not breathe like the kiss
you stole from
Seven- minutes in heaven in that closet
at that party I was supposed to leave at
Eight- o'clock but you convinced me to stay
and I stayed, but who knew heaven would later
be described as the
Nine- circles of Hell that you put me through
I did not realize I would cry for you
Ten- times too many at
Eleven- at night, when the dark consumes me
And I lay in bed convincing myself
12- things I love about you
and how that makes
13- things to hate about myself
And I look at your face and I count
14- freckles that align with my eyes
Eyes that have been only for you since I was
15- and I met you for the first time
I would make
16- phone calls and eventually
you would not answer
17- voicemails of tears that
would not be heard
I must have screamed louder than
18- church bells ringing at once.
It felt as if I was drowning with
19- tons of water in my lungs.
and again I could not breathe like
20- thick rings of smoke swallowed me whole
I am searching for you
But will you come and find me?
