The Binds That Tie Me

You make me feel like second best
The unwanted guest
who you just don/'/t have the heart
to tell to vacate the premises.
I feel like an empty well
in a pit of hell
The one who your secrets
you/'/d never tell.
I/'/m the scent, the aroma
you can no longer bear to smell.
I feel like a lost child
lost in a crowd of laughing,
lying faces gone wild.
No kindness in those blue eyes,
no more compassion for me in that smile...
Am I on trial?
I feel like a fish out of water,
gasping for air on this hard concrete
and mortar.
Out of my element, everything no longer
in proper place or order.
I feel like the baby bird that/'/s
tumbled from the safety of its nest.
Lying here helpless, exposed to scavengers
and the rest. Hoping to be rescued,
hoping for the best.
Feeling like I have no safe place,
no home...
Feeling agoraphobic, sheltered
and alone.
Can/'/t trust myself, can hardly see.
Images become fractured...
my mind is never free.

I relate to this, I felt similarly in a relationship I finally ended recently. I hope you can find a way to rise above and feel good again.
that aside, I love the imagery you use throughout, the word that comes to mind is visceral. well done. |

It is hard to be not clearly let go

though we know we should move on |
