I couldn't show you what I meant
Just like I couldn't tell you how I felt
Or possibly the other way around
In circles, you left me in dust
Searing memories onto my skin
The burning brings relief, release
Maybe another day to come will carry a lesson to be learned
If only we could see
A world up in flames and a pile of ash symbolizing boredom
Simplifying violence
Into an equation solved by lack of evidence
A bedroom filled with empty bottles and broken glass
And the only way out is through the tiny window
That you locked with a key called trust
Thrown away with every emotion never felt
Your so-called life

I love this poem. It is confusing at parts, but I think it adds to the poem. I love the feeling of hurt and loss of hope in this poem. Very good.

Concur with the above statement, and add that it is actually nice to encounter a little seeming confusion with such a subject. It adds to the poem for me, somehow.
