I’m trying

I know that’s not enough for you

And I know you don’t understand

But I am trying

I promise I’m trying

My wounds have healed but the scars still ache at the thought of you

I will forever be the person who says "it’s okay, I understand.." even when my heart is breaking into pieces..

I bring myself to the edge of exhaustion before I finally lay down to rest.

I am unable to fall sleep any other way.

My mind is too loud and harmful to be left to run free.

It would keep me up all night shouting lies and assumptions.

So I must stay wake and keep my mind focused until my eyes become heavy.

Only then will I let exhaustion lull my untamed mind to sleep.

My heart refuses to let you go.

I wanted you to love me so badly I tore myself apart and put myself back together exactly how you wanted. And it still wasn’t enough.
