endure
verb
to suffer patiently
he knew this word all too well
it was his life described as a single six letter word
she was ignorant to the fact that she, too, ignored his pain
he constantly suffered
with extreme patience
his silence betrayed him
he never spoke of those words that pained him
the sentences strung within his heart such as a chain would
locked it tight
the key were his lips
if he mumbled those words to her, the pressure would be lifted
but he was his own captor
his own enemy
she was the hidden savior he did not recognize nor accept
