Sad Poems

The Lie Behind I'm Fine

Please don't tell me not to cry,
Because there is a reason why.
You don't know the pain inside,
Or how much I have to hide.
The tears run down onto my shirt,
The long sleeve shirt that covers the hurt.

You tell me to go on with life.
To go on and remember to be strong.
I've been sad for far too long,
All this pain gone on too long.
I don't expect for you to cry,
But yet you do as I say "I'm fine."

I fall to my knees and whisper one last goodbye,
I haven't been me for quite some time.
I've pushed pain aside and tried to hide.
I can't pretend I don't hurt.
Because my life has changed and I can't go back,
Not today, not tomorrow, never again.

The best thing anyone could do for me,
With my life I give away,
Is just be there when it has to end.
Just as my life was before I cried.
You were there to fight for me.
My broken heart is long gone now,
And there is no way for it to mend.
