Poetry: How Do I

How do I falsify joy

When my heart screams in pain

Wondering where all the love went

As it beats bloody in vain


Tell me how do I keep breathing

While pretending I’m not drowning

My insides a swirling tempest

And I the lone sailor it’s surrounding


Show me how do I curl a smile

As my hands bite into broken glass

Fragments of our memories stained in my blood

Desperate for them not to pass


Please…

How do I just forget everything

When you became that to me

When you’re my sunshine in the dark

How do I see


Seriously…

How do I…

How do I..?

How can I?
