A Bruised Heart

I wake up in the morning, No energy, no life, Wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep. I go through that day, With fake smiles, Fake laughs, Because I don’t have any real ones left. What you said to me, Was just another kick in the face, It took me out, there was immense pain, And just like everything else, I tried to shake it off. I forced myself through the rest of the day, With a bruise not on my face, But in my heart. Finally the sun set and darkness took over. Sometimes sleep comes to you, not by being tired, But by being tired of living the day. The day takes a toll on you, physically and mentally. But today, this day, everything came crashing down, And took me down with it. My support lines failed and now here I lie, Not having the strength to once again, get back up, Move on, and walk away.
