MY BITTER HEART

i stay

  silent 

as you 

SCREAM

at me

about my

faults

about my

wrongs

about my

flaws

i stand there glumly as

drop 

by painful 

drop

my tears trickle 

d

      o

 w

       n 

my face

you look at me with those eyes

those

RAGING 

brown 

eyes

fury 

burning 

with every gaze

i try

to look at you straight

but fear betrays me

you say your

only wish

is for me to be happy

but i don't think that's what

you're making me

and now my

BITTER HEART

is

breaking

it is 

tearing 

a    p         a          r             t  

it is

being 

crushed

into a 

billion little p i e c e s

my 

bitter heart 

is

bleeding

it is 

weeping

i turn around

i walk away

i try to be 

brave

i try to be

strong

i try to keep the p i e c e s of me

tightly holding on

but i know i can't do this for very long

SOON enough 

everything may be

G   O   N   E

everything 

will be

L O S T

everything 

but

my
