Questions Beneath Us Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

Right now I am falling to pieces,
Breaking into these creases.

My world is falling apart.
With you still stuck in my heart.

Now I am trying to see,
That it was your decision to leave me.

I cannot make you for me,
When you yourself think we are not meant to be.

I have to let you go.
Even though when wanting you to stay is what I know.

Why am I like this?
Why do I keep creating such a crisis?

How do I calm your heart?
How do I stop mine from tearing apart?

Maybe I am lonely inside.
Maybe I force myself to stand tall when really I want to hide.

Why can't you just tell me honestly?
Why can't you just let my heart be?

Why must I keep thinking continuously?
I know I helped you but now you have left me.

If that is how we are meant to be.
Why does my heart still feel so heavy?

How do I forget?
When I remember each detail inset.
