All I know is how to suppress
these emotions deep below my skin's surface
suffocating the stress that I chose to displace
I hide my feelings from my reflection's face.
I cannot admit the pain that I feel inside,
losing something that was once so important to me-
now lost is nothing more than a memory.
The tears linger around the corners of my eyes
and the audible sound of my heart as it sighs
shakes the being of my core
and there is nothing left for me to endure.
