My t-shirt is soaked.

With the tears of a conversation.

The tears of loneliness.

The tears of heartache.

The tears of an unimaginable pain.

The tears I have cried before.

The tears I have known were coming.

But that doesn’t make it hurt any less.

I gasp for air.

As I try to remain silent in my suffering.

The vomit rises in my throat.

As the pain settles into my chest.

A pain I knew was coming.

But a pain that is killing me.

I don’t understand why it hurts so much.

When I knew it was coming.

I knew it and I couldn’t stop it.

And now I cry alone.

With no one to know of my silent suffering.
