PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I smile while the tears slowly flow inside

Drowning me in my own heartache.

My own image seems to betray me.

There is nothing inside me left to hold on to.

I told you my secrets out loud.

While my world spinned out of control.

You hold my hand while the flashbacks

Hit me one by one steadily making

Every part of my body jerk until

My ribs are bruised: Black and Blue.

Inside me I hold the memories of a living hell.

And yet today you say

"It's all going to be okay?" I see it all in your eyes,

I know you are telling me lies.

Every part of me wants to let go,

But yet today for you,

For my sanity.

I smile, bruised ribs and all.

Keep telling myself secret lies

Behind these eyes.
