A different way of pain

Honey, why do I run around trying to erase the pain.
I spread it out, but I just end up on a bigger mess.
You hold it in, put on a shy smile, you walk in small steps and hide your face, lost into the crowd.
You know we're both in pain, but I have to let it out.
My brain is water and my thoughts pour off my mouth.
I have to break things,
Yell shit,
Walk up to him and punch his fucking face.
While you just say he's not worth it, while you just cry in silent, I scream, and hope that it stings like the thousand knives he carved in my chest.
But your silences hurt him more than my yells of hate.
I have to get that closure.
Have to...I don't know.
I just do. I don't think.
I would rather make someone else cry than let my own tears escape.
And I know it's wrong.
And I know your play is smarter
But at the end of the day we both end up crying in bed, hugging our pillows to shut the voices in our heads.
