Emotions
When I see you, it all comes back to me.
The happiness, the pain--
Everything unfair--
It all comes back.
And I'm so overwhelmed,
I can't feel the
Emotions
That I should.
I'm a blank slate;
I close off all that can
Hurt me.
I held your words to heart,
Yet you decided to
Do their opposite.
This game--
This game of ignoring--
Took its toll.
You lied; you evaded.
So I'll do the same.
You don't know me,
I don't know you,
And I won't feel the emotions
You put me through.

Two poems for the price of one. I read your poem through and then read the words in bold on their own. They both say the same thing but in different ways and thus invoking different feelings.
