PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

sometimes when i'm sad

i tell myself to smile

even when i'm crying inside

all the while

but i must not let it show

and i must not let you know

that i can still feel

and that i can still bleed

or that i want the loving

that i so deperately need

that i just want to be alone

to find a place to hide

so i can finally cry the tears

that i've never cried

sometimes when it hurts

i just pretend and smile

even when i'm dying inside

i can't get past denial

i'll just pretend that i didn't hear

or maybe that i just don't care

that you don't love me anymore

that you would rather be with somebody else

or that i cannot begin to love again

until i learn to love myself

you can tie me to the cross

and drive the nail in inch by inch

but every blow you strike at me

god help me if i flinch

i will not say a thing

i will not raise my voice

regardless of my feelings

you made your own choice

but to be betrayed by you

someone that i know and love,

when i finally began to trust,

all of this,

all of it

was almost just too much

each word that you whisper

cuts me deeper than the last

haven't i always tried to forget

everything i've forgiven of you in the past?

but every word that comes out of your mouth

has been nothing but lies

and you've done nothing but disappoint me

how can you still look me in the eyes?
