I met an old friend in the mall
(Someone who doesn't know).
She said how happy that I looked,
Then turned around to go.
I stared at her as she walked on,
Then laughed to comprehend.
The pain I've hidden deep inside,
And no one sees within.
I made a pact with my own self
That even though I cry,
You'll never know my agony.
My face will tell a lie.
I have my pride--though little else.
I won't be some man's pawn.
You'll never know how much I hurt!
You'll never know you won.
HOw sad, awful ! Must have been disappointed, aint you ? I would have stood there, befuddled at this 'old' friend of mine ....wondering if she's the one i knew, or a stranger, or worst, a friend whom had forgotten me. Thanxs for sharing this.
