I fear
but I’m not afraid
I hurt
but I do not bleed
I cry
but I won’t shed a tear
I scream
but you won’t hear a sound
I work
but I love my job
I try
but you may not agree
I love
but in a different way
I talk
but she never heard a word
I left
but I wanted to stay
I change
but I didn’t always know how
I wish
she could see that
I miss
her more than anyone
I pretend
the pain is gone
I distract
myself to cope with it
I pray
I’ll be able to move on
I remain
victim to heartbreak
