Compression, A List Of Poems.

Stone cold

I tried to cry, to let out all the pain

But it just ended up as a yawn, my sadness feigned

I tried to feel, to let my emotions flow

But they're all frozen, a heartless woe

I tried to care, to let myself be vulnerable

But my walls are too high, I'm unbreakable

I tried to love, to open up my heart

But it's sealed shut, tearing me apart

I tried to hurt, to feel something, anything at all

But it's like a numbness, my feelings are small

I tried to feel alive, to break free from this ice

But I'm trapped, my emotions suffice

So I'll just pretend, I'll fake it till the end

A heartless and cold facade, my emotions blend

Into the background, a yawn, a sigh

I'll just go through the motions, and let love pass me by.
