Unshed Tears and Unsaid Words
Lily
Mar 2018
My eyes are flooded with tears unshed,
My mouth overflowing with words unsaid.
Words of happiness and tears of sorrow,
Are threatening my vision of the morrow.
My heart is empty, numb, and dull,
My brain a desolate prison cell.
No temptation, incentive, motivation,
Could ever get my heart to feel emotion.
The ceaseless creaking of my bed,
The endless wonderings of my head,
As I toss and turn at night,
Debating whether I should want the light.
My mouth overflowing with words unsaid.
Words of happiness and tears of sorrow,
Are threatening my vision of the morrow.
My heart is empty, numb, and dull,
My brain a desolate prison cell.
No temptation, incentive, motivation,
Could ever get my heart to feel emotion.
The ceaseless creaking of my bed,
The endless wonderings of my head,
As I toss and turn at night,
Debating whether I should want the light.

I feel a familiar stinging
As my emotions flood to the corners of my eyes
And threaten to jump
My vision blurs
And I know
The people around me
Must be staring
Reading every word my
Sorrowful face conveys
Watching the outline of my jaw
As I try to stop it from quivering
Tracing the pain
In the red lines appearing in my eyes
I swallow hard
Do not show weakness
Do not show pain
Smile, darling
My throat aches
I'm so
Tired
Of holding back the salty oceans in my eyes
Tired
Of silencing my pain
And tucking it deep inside
Tired
Of unshed tears
And unspoken sorrow
So as I sit alone
Surrounded by strangers
On the train ride home
I weep
As my emotions flood to the corners of my eyes
And threaten to jump
My vision blurs
And I know
The people around me
Must be staring
Reading every word my
Sorrowful face conveys
Watching the outline of my jaw
As I try to stop it from quivering
Tracing the pain
In the red lines appearing in my eyes
I swallow hard
Do not show weakness
Do not show pain
Smile, darling
My throat aches
I'm so
Tired
Of holding back the salty oceans in my eyes
Tired
Of silencing my pain
And tucking it deep inside
Tired
Of unshed tears
And unspoken sorrow
So as I sit alone
Surrounded by strangers
On the train ride home
I weep
