Back against the...

By Kinkypoptart

Sitting on the floor
Back against the wall
Are these lies?
My heart...
Will it be broken again?
The doorbell sounds
Ahh... My comfort pizza
"Thanks"
A few words of wisdom
From my mom
Tears...
Confusion of Clarity?
Can I believe this is true?

Standing in the boxing rind
Back against the ropes
Is it true?
My mind...
Will I be decieved again?
The phone rings
Your soft voice...
"hello?"
Words of comfort
On your part
Tears...
Anger or forgiveness?
Can I believe you?

Lying in this bed of hope
Back against the sheets
Can it be?
My soul...
Will it ache again?
The alarm goes off
Not another morning
"shit"
A sigh of disbelief
At feeling this way again
Tears...
A glint of happiness back
Can I feel comfort again?

    I just read it again and it has the same effect it just rips me to shreds telling me to go back and forth on what I feel, I feel sad, and angry that you have to feel this way.*Hugs* This was just beautiful and breath-taking
