Deep Cut
Pitter-patter,
Do you hear that?
I can hear laughter.
It hurts my ears,
And it damages my heart.
Don't they see?
I'm not okay.
I remember him.
It seems like it was yesterday.
I told him I loved him,
And he turned me away.
Doesn't he see it?
My heart beats for him.
Now it's stopped,
And bleeds for him.
It's hard to let go,
Do you think it's easy?
He acts like it's nothing,
But for me it is.
It's like a deep cut,
It just won't heal,
It burns me inside,
And consumes me deeply.
Can't you see?
I'm now nothing.
I just smile and they think it's okay,
I was happy,
Yet they don't see,
Deep inside,
I'm dying.
