Silent Screams

Poem 17

Happiness finally bestowed upon me
And suddenly I was alright

My heart was stronger
And my words were softer

I tried to help you
And you refused

It hurt me to leave you
But you were a burden to me

And I left you there
Shattered and broken

But I knew that for myself
I had done the right thing

And now you think
That I must hate you

When really
It was all for me

And how selfish I must be
To leave you like that

To let you wither away
And forget our friendship

But how terrible it was
When you brought me down

And I need to get better
But you refused to help

So I decided
Maybe shattering a few hearts

Is easier than trying to fix mine
Over and over again
