Challenge
Insomniac Jots
A paltry spot to place one of those niggling tidbits which came un-asked-for in the dead of night. Fiction, non fiction, poetry, prose, self, contradiction... Anything goes.
was it wrong to leave you
did you really love me
did i let you down
?
i forgot to remember you
and only saw when you bored me
when you stole from me
i forgot to remember the late nights
when you'd stay up because i couldn't sleep
i didn't even have to ask you
you knew i didn't want to fall into my nightmares
and i didn't want to fall into my mind
so you talked to me
and when i fell asleep and didn't respond
you'd say
goodnight
you responded in a few seconds
no matter what you had to do
said i was most important to you
i took hours to respond
pushing you away with one word answers
telling you to stop saying that you loved me
scared that you were only telling lies
scared that you would hurt me
so i said
goodbye
