Just Me? Poem by Samantha Myers

I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
Like I’m six feet under and suffocating
Buried alive, buried dead
You are a part of my soul
Not just my heart
I’m not quite sure how to feel
The world is fading

Who am I to question you?
Who am I to not?
Who am I to you?

One thing to leave with a purpose,
Another to just leave
I know you have to,
You don’t have to leave with a smile on your face…

Don’t tell me not to cry
Why don’t you cry with me?
Am I the only one feeling these emotions?
Are you so cold

Neutral me.
Tear streaked I.
Salt that heals no wounds
Is this me tonight?
Buried alive, buried dead
Buried me

Don’t tell me not to cry.
Show me you feel pain to.
If not, why am I still here with you?
