A.L.H

Always

I fell in love in the easy silences,
Between smiles and adoring looks,
Within tender kisses and lazy days,
Till I carried you with me, always.

I disappeared behind those angry words,
Between lies and counterfeit tears,
Within your perfectly constructed ruse,
Till my love for you hid the abuse.

I rose, breaking the shackles of disrespect,
Between those harsh realities,
Within suicidal ideation,
Now, finally free from sedation.
