Things unsaid

WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE ELORIAGA

“Don’t let go of me and I won’t let go of you. Hold onto me and life we will push through. Trust me with your life, hold on to my hand, Because I trust you until the death of this land.”

Such stupid thoughts of an innocent mind; Too blind to see the truth, too selfless and kind. I stand up for you, allowing you to be happy, But you let me suffer, and you saw it as beauty.

Use me for your joy, use me for your entertainment, And the fool in me says: you have my full consent. I followed the breadcrumbs of the path you lured me in, But when I finally see the truth, all I want to do is flee.

I am lost to the truth, and I am hurting. I was brought up with sadness, with a single pain and counting. I am mad at myself for being a fool, So stupid and innocent in a world this cruel.

Can I just erase you? Can I just forget you? It would hurt less than if I were to hate you. The memories we made, were all of it true? Or was it a byproduct of the actual you?

“Please let go of me and I will let you go. Hold on to life, and your happiness will follow. Trust someone else, not I who had found another. I’m sorry for everything, I’m sorry for each other.”
