Holding Back.

221 30 26
                                    

Silent anger, I hold back.

Out of reach, I keep you distant.

I smile so you think I'm okay,

Never saying what I want to say.

Holding back, with tear filled eyes.

I never show you the tears I cry,

But you've always sensed my demise.

You brush me off like a piece of lint,

Hoping one day I'll feel content.

I don't tell you what's wrong,

Because you never ask.

You look right through me like a piece of glass.

Holding back, this breath is my last.
