intangible (poem)

It makes me ill

sickness building up in my stomach 

clenching my heart from the inside

threatening it to cease beating

tears build a dam behind my eyes

emotion I have long ago suppressed

now burning my soul from within

smiles never meant for me

grins masked with falsity

closeness disguising unreachable distance


Chasing a fugitive past

taken refuge within my memory

too many words unspoken

lines I beg you to read between

when you havent even opened the book

my hands close upon an intangible shadow

as you unknowingly leave my side

"too many words unspoken

i had avery bad friend once who never tried to understand me and all i wanted was to be known but she was too consumed with herself. she never noticed when anything was wrong with me. i wrote a peom about it actually. she just never read between the lines

really great poem!! 🫶
