untitled

You’re falling asleep  
While I lie here awake  
You dream peacefully  
Unaware of this weight  

But you never see it  
Cause I keep it quiet  
Hiding all my shed tears  
And keeping it silent  
 
The wall inside my head  
They’re padded and white  
You tell me I’m crazy but  
I know that’s not right  
 
And I’m starting to feel it  
Alone in our bed, and  
You’re sleeping so soundly  
But I’m alone in my head  
 
They say this is gaslighting  
You’re too manipulative  
And I know when you’re lying  
But it’s all so stimulative  
 
You get me all worked up  
And I’m wracking my brain  
I don’t see all these problems  
You say I should be shamed  
 
So you’re sleeping soundly  
While I hold it together  
I ignore all your insults  
But I’m feeling the pressure

Maybe the kind of poem I’d have written months ago.
