It will get better

Here, I see you walking around happy,

Unaffected by my absence.

My mind cries at this,

As does my heart shatter.


The nights I spent crying,

Only a few by my side.

To console me and wipe my tears away,

And tell me it will be alright.


Here, I see you talking,

The harsh words out your mouth surely about none but me.

My mind saddens a bit;

My heart breaks a little.

But I remind myself

That it will get better.


Slowly the cries fade away,

Replaced by laughter as beautiful as the tinkling bells.

Sparkling eyes and bright smiles replaced

The empty eyes and shallow smiles.


Now, as your fake, high pitched laugh echo's in the room,

My face contorts into one of repugnance.

My mind laughs at this,

While my heart stays unaffected.

It was true after all,

Because, in the end, it did get better.
