Hangman

you said that you hated me
my reflection would say
making faces
rejoicing at my pain.

my life has been a maze
one that I could not escape.

i bled trails
where I lost my way.
People would see me
scoff and turn their face.

the moon was always so bright..
I’d call out, do you see!?
and the passengers of life would wail
could you just be quiet please?!

In my mind is where I would scream.
then no one would know or look
because I went inside
and locked the door
but last time
I swallowed the key.

I was a seamstress too you know
the cloth was my emotions
-and I did custom orders faking happiness from despair.

The thread however was more than I could bear
because every time you were sad
and I pulled you down
I hung myself there
