Torn at the seams
like a pillow of feathers
flying in mid air  
there's no hope left in the mirror
only my distorted reflection
that finally got the best of me.

I should have known
I would end up sitting caddy corner
outside the window looking in
never close enough to pull myself through  
missing the train of thought
or someone who cared enough to come back for me.

So I dabbled in poetry to ease my pain
and blew it off
like half a dozen letters that went unanswered
bringing it all home again.

Had you known,  perhaps you might have understood
how it felt to be run through the wringer
and have all that I believed in shrink up inside.
So like the feathers that fall
without any hope left to float.

I've no heart to mend  
the sky was falling
before the walls came tumbling down
burying my faith
  that I tried so hard to save.

Very unhappy write.  I hope you're okay.  What is caddy corner?  And also, what are petal pushers?  I'm ignorant.
