i weep in silence
By Dani Harris
Inspiration piece
• alone in the night
• i weep in silence
• brushing the warm tears
• from my face.
:: :: ::
• my heart
• ~the one that loves him~
• is black and blue
• ….bruised.
• so fragile
• it may shatter
• at the slightest touch.
:: :: ::
• my heart
• ~the one in my body~
• that beats to keep me alive
• physically aches
• ….isn’t that strange?
:: :: ::
• there’s a thick fog
• swirling all around me
• muting the voices of those speaking to me
• separating me from the world
• leaving me confused
• ….unable to understand.
:: :: ::
• everything looks dim ~
• there is a film
• that clouds my eyes
• so that i can’t see clearly
• ….or even which way to go.
:: :: ::
• my sorrow is real
• ~ whether justified or not ~
• it overwhelms me,
• it floods my soul,
• it breaks my spirit.
• i drown in
• the hopelessness
• of self-pity
• and self-doubt.
:: :: ::
• I’ve become someone
• i don’t recognize….
• something i do not
• want to be….
• needy.
:: :: ::
• at least, that’s how he makes me feel
• as if i’m asking for too much
• as if i am selfish and greedy
• as if he’s already given me so much
• more than i deserve, in his eyes.
:: :: ::
• so… if i need to be desired
• if i need him to want to spend time with me
• if i need him to want to tell me he loves me
• if i need him to want me…
• then that means i need too much.
:: :: ::
• i thought he loved me ~
• i try to tell myself he still does
• i thought he wanted me ~
• but it faded too soon
• i thought it was real ~
• was it all just born of my desperation?
:: :: ::
• my heart has now broken
• into a million pieces ~
• it was too fragile
• i was too fragile
• i am not who i was
• i am no one
• i am nothing.
:: :: ::
• alone all the time now
• i weep in silence
• brushing the warm tears
• from my face.
:: :: ::
• alone all the time now.
