Love Poem: Being Human

Being Human

What is it to be human?
Is it having peace and happiness.
Or is it insanity that eats us while we breathe hope into our fears.
Like a tornado of  numbness that washes away my tears.
Turning away from this fight to surround my dreams into a endless whisper.
A ghost of a past that I thought was my right, only to have the reality slap the hate back
into my face.
Next time I see you maybe I can be civil like a person.
Instead of this demon whose hatred wants to consume you.
I want you to fell the hurt that you threw at me as you left me here alone.
Here alone in this world being human.
I  want you to feel the need to lay here in our bed alone staring at nothing.
To miss me holding you hold onto me.
Watching everything we had fade away.
I thought you were my forever to stay.
I sometimes run for miles to feed the burn.
Missing the sunshine in the air.
I tried to take a leave of absence but life made me stayed.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason for what was love to hurt so much.
I try to sleep to lose all these memories of us but in my dreams there was no end.
Maybe I  deserve this hell, I just don’t know anymore what’s real.
I want to wake up and forget you ever meant anything to me.
