Distorted

Distorted
Wasn’t this reflection once?
Picture perfect
Weren’t the memories
Incredible
Weren’t you once?
The best thing
That ever happened
Didn’t a smile
Paint my face
When you decorated my mind
I cared
About how you felt
About how you were
But as time
Drops
All those butterflies wash away
The pretty pictures begin to fade
I look at you
And see a stranger
Just another face amongst
Other faces
Trying to remember
How it felt
When your face
Your voice
Meant so much more
Than nothing at all
Feeling as though
I’m stuck in a 3 hour exam
That I never learnt for
Read question 1
Man you meant something
But what was it
Where did it go
Flip to page last
Did you not make me smile?
Sitting frozen
I stare blankly at the wall
Did I make you up?
Were you a perfect illusion?
Struggling to come to grip
With my distorted reality
Is sanity my enemy?
Is love at war?
Distorted
Why is everything so abstract?
Where’s the sense?
I’m drowning in nonsense
Same mistake
Made again
Mistakes repeated
Stop repeating
Does it hurt?
Where the tears?

Distorted
When will normal, befriend me?
