I cried today in silence
to hide my pain from you
tried real hard to stop
as you demanded that I do
How did this ever get to be
when did I stop being me?
Time has made me feel so old
and passes quicker than I've been told
My chest hurt as I gasped for air
fought for breath which wasn't there
Tried to swallow but my throat was dry
wanted to scream but heard a sigh
Sometimes I can't believe it's real
this fucked up way I often feel
Reality sucks, this is true
as I hide my silent tears from you.

a rather sad but powerful emotion filled poem, well done
A sad poem of attachment to one that seems not there for them. Touching
Teardrop…I am not sure how I missed this when you posted it, but the simplicity of the lines makes the pain even sharper. It reads like someone trying to hold themselves together in real time. Powerful work, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
