Fear of Being Cast Away

I wrote down
my heart,
and now
I
wish
tears rolled
down
my cheeks.
I
wish
I
could show
the
sorrow
I
feel
upon
reminiscing.

I
lost you,
a fight
where
I
didn't win,
one
I
didn't
even begin.
I
just left with
bruises
and
wounds
under
my skin
that
no one
can see
unless
they
dared to ask
me.

I've made
friends
since
our thread
was cut,
but the best
I'm
afraid
I'll lose.
Just like how
I lost you.

I apologize
and
I feel
shame
because
I'm
scared
that
I'll
take
the blame.
She'll,
he'll,
they'll
all
surely see
what
you saw
and
leave me
at the bottom
as
I scream
each
of their
names.

You
taught
me
the
bitter'st
of lessons:
Don't
love or trust
anyone
that
walks into
your life -
for, just as surely
as you
need them,
they'll exit
without
a thought
your way.

I
can't cry,
though
I
wish,
for my heart
is as stone,
cold
by
the winter
wind
that you
blew in.

I'm
forever
robbed of
the
innocence
of
friendship.
You took my sun
and
left the night
behind.

I'm
forever
distrusting
and
afraid
because
of
the wounds,
the only
thing you gave
me
before you
turned away.
