where did
all the sweetness go?
what once was your laughter
became tired stares that pierced the soul
all the lovely melodies
and poems you dedicated to him
became writing pain and tears
on pieces of paper all so thin
you want to scream
and you want to shout
but your throat is stinging
and no voice is coming out
so much love to give
but no one to pour onto
giving it to yourself
feels like the wrong way to do
and so it gathers up
as tears in your eyes
a suffocating lump in your throat
as you fight the urge to cry
