GRIEF Poem by Ethan Manzon

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Looked into the void and the void stared back
I told the void “A little more and I’ll crack”
The void said “Quit, I can’t be bothered to handle your shit”
I said “Me neither” It said “Hypocrite”

I said “Im not”
I just miss my old self a lot
And this feeling really sucks
And there seems to be no thought

It said “Go talk to the darkness it’ll know what to do”
I said “okay but this feels Deja Vu”
The Void “Said cool now leave me alone”
I said “Whatever” and left on my own

Called to Darkness and it didn’t respond
Didn’t say anything but I heard it yawn
Told it the void called a hypocrite
It finally responded and it said “Yeah a bit”

I asked “Why?”
I feel like I died
What have yall done to me?
I feel like I can’t see

It said “Go talk to the Abyss”
And by the way stop being a little bitch
It’s not cute
And you should try and quit

Spoke to the Abyss and the Abyss said No
I never even got to say Hello
The Abyss said “No, no more helping those”
“Those who hurt you, who pain you and leave you in these Lows”

I asked “Why? I just to help all”
I just want to stop this free fall
I want to feel again, Not this numb
Cant even remember where I came from

“Go speak to the ghost like the attached puppy you are”
I said “Stop that it’s not funny anymore”
The Abyss Laughed and told me to leave, I don’t need you now
I scoffed and left “man I don’t know how”

Called to the ghost and the ghost said “Hey, Friend why are you out this late?
It’s like 2am and the cities are dead. Has the candy hit your brain?”
I told the Ghost that I’ve lost myself, free falling everyday
The Ghost said “Friend, what has happened to you? for you to be this way?”

I don’t know it’s been creeping everyday
It’s been a very heavy weight to weigh
Whenever im asleep or whenever Im awake
But this hit me like an Earthquake

The Ghost said “Friend you were born this way”
With love and passion oh so great
Some people don’t begin to comprehend
That it’s not neediness you’re just a good friend

Im needy, I know but you love that about me
Your voice is so sweet, it’s like a symphony
And you don’t need to even worry about me
I’m a pet, a toy, and you’re a Hot deity

I tell you that I want it, I want it quite a lot
And Id do anything for you, yes id do it without a thought
I talk to you because I like you, I like you because you’re mine
And I always think about you, yes it’s all the time

Your Beauty should be a sin, it’s my temptation
The way you talk to me it’s a sensation
No I dont want to leave cause I really wanna stay
And no matter what ill give my soul away

This is a letter to the girl who’s been shot down, and broken
She put a wall over her emotions, I want to be her token
I can make her feel better, move in slow motion
Im addicted now, I took a sip of your potion

Shes wary of love cause shes been hurt
And I wonder why anyone would do that, cause shes a Dessert
She’s so sweet, like Cinnamon
I can see it in her eyes when she holds my chin

Cause I want her heart, all to myself
Because I don’t want to leave her on the shelf
Cause I want to love her, with all my soul
After all, that’s my only goal

Oh, well she’s upset
And now you’re worrying like a worthless pet
Dont overthink itll lead you to hell
Because you shes got you under a spell

Oh, well she’s happy
It sucks that you crave it that badly
Go ahead, keep your hands to yourself
Just wait till she’s upset again and you’ll be on the shelf

Oh, well she’s down
And she won’t open up so you think you let her drown
But she promises she’s okay
But you know that she’s not and she’s starting to fray

Oh, well she’s feeling bad
And that’s not good but you don’t want to make her mad
Because when she’s mad you start to overthink
And when that starts to happen you cant even blink

Oh, well now she’s gone
And your mind doesnt know whats really going on
It wasn’t your fault, but you blame yourself
Now you’re right back on the shelf
