Just Tell Me Why

I need a reason.

Just a reason.

Something that makes sense, something that I can process and accept, just … a reason.

Yesterday, I was a person.

And today, you broke me.

Why?

What made you stop loving me?

What made you stop caring?

What is wrong with me?

Please tell me; my heart feels like a rotten apple core, and I can feel the darkness spreading, all-consuming.

Maybe that’s the reason.

Maybe my heart was always a rotten apple core, and you saw it before I did.

Sit & Listen

I’m sitting in a crowd, filled with people, and no one is listening.

Each day is a battle, and yet you don’t see me.

Every day another jigsaw puzzle piece no longer fits, and I’m crumbling, struggling to stay up right.

I’m a good person, aren’t I?

They say good things happen to good people.

Perhaps that’s the problem.

Perhaps I’m a parasitic worm, and not a person at all.
