Behind the face you cannot read
Oh my beautiful friend!My heart sighs with you when you cry out for hope!
My soul is wrenched awake in pain
when I have to remind it yet again
that it cannot unite with your soul
I am left with all my muscles aching and twitching
hurting too much to even cry
my blood draining from my face
Knowing that the most beautiful thing I have ever encountered;
us,
is lost
or dead
My hope
which makes no sense
is tearing me apart
Not even your sweetest kiss can soothe my pain
Not you holding me in the warmth and safety of your arms
Not your most loving smile
Not you torturing yourself with guilt of what you have done
If you come back
I don't think I will believe you
Leave me to be only this complex shell I have so skillfully designed to fool the world
Let them believe I am happy without you
Release my burden of knowing you are real
let me believe you were an illusion
Leave me cold
and with a chance of survival
But don't ever ask me to smile
or to love
to look upon your face without breaking
I am not as strong as you think
I am merely struggling to survive, to breathe
