“YOU LEFT ME TO BE”
Last night while I rode my bike in a knobbly narrow alley,
I fell down and scraped my knee.
And it hurts and I feel a pinching pain like a needle piercing through my veins.
It’s Monday today, I took a day off to let my wound heal,
However it feels off, lying on my bed on Monday, it feels so mundane.
And again as I lay I felt the pain so I checked my scraped knee again.
Since it’s a Monday and I feel so mundane, my wheel of thoughts began,
And I looked at my wound and its funny how it reminded me of you,
Reminded me exactly how you left me to be.
I felt the same pinching pain when you left me to be,
only that it was my chest instead of my knee.
I remember my friends telling me that it is not a big deal when you left me to be,
Just like what the doctor said yesterday, it’s just a shallow scrape on your knee.
And I remember how I developed a big layer of emotions around me, to protect myself
When you left me to be, just like the thin black layer on my scrapped and wounded knee.
And just like how my scraped knee will heal, leaving behind scarred tissue reminding me
of the narrow knobbly alley. My heart also healed, yet there exists a scar reminding me of the pain and suffering you left me alone to be, you left me to be.
