Inside Out
By April, age 24, New Jersey
darkness creeps over me, the sunlight that once awakened my soul has been snuffed out by your words. your looks pierced through my heart until i felt nothing but the iced burn you left inside of me ...
i'm bleeding from the inside out and you don't care, you watch me falling to pieces and all you do is stand and stare. i can't control what is happening, your words can hurt or heal me. why won't you try to save me?
battered and bruised, torn aside and left in the cold to be eaten alive, that's what you did when you left, that's how you sliced me in two by the unspoken truth. i held you, touched you, loved you, it wasn't enough. you could have left but you chose to break me first ...
i cried icicles instead of tears, love hasn't been my friend for years and you're to blame. i'm bleeding from the inside out ... all you do is stand and stare.
