~~Frozen Beneath~~

Due to internet issues, this may or may not have been the second time this was posted. --A.

My creativity's frozen

It's hard to write

My eyes slide shut

I'm out like a light

There's nothing left right now

For me to breathe

You will never let me

Even try to leave

I'm left curled up under your arm

Kept safe by you

You whisper to me

Saying things that aren't true

I reply in the same words

And you don't listen much

You don't seem to notice

When I flinch from your touch

You pet my hair

And tell me I'm yours

Even though you're never there

When I slam the doors

On the memories that shake me

On the memories that break me

On the memories that hurt me

On the things that kill me

You say you understand

But how could you

When you know nothing

Of what I went through?

I will always love you

That feeling's real

But that doesn't mean

There's much else I can feel

I know I'm not the strongest

I know I'm not the best

But please always know

That I won't leave like the rest

As long as you stay

And keep me close to real

I won't ever go

You make me feel

Please just love me

And give me what you can

There's nothing more I can do

Until you truly understand.
