Emotions Unheard Untold

In the mirror, a faded picture.
Unrecognizable reflection…
Pulled from a broken frame.
Heart torn.
Spirit worn.
Hurt…can no longer hide it.
Search for happiness…can’t seem to find it.
Truth is glaring.
Pain piercing
Through my heart, my soul
Unveiling emotions unheard untold.

Listened to her heart.
Heard the stories
Of its damage.
Told her I’ll hold her when she cries,
Be the tissue that wipes her eyes
And show her a new world.
One that she can be the center of,
Where we can thrive and learn
There are no parameters of what we can become.

She embraced the smile I put on her face,
The comfort that drove her fears away,
The support that got her through the rocky days.
Finally had everything she anticipated.
Never thought of reciprocating.
Wanted me to be Number 1…
Treated me as if I was the Last 1.
Her actions fell short and I don’t know the cause.
Now I’m filled with questions.
Was first impression all a façade?

Expressed my issues
Of her harping on historical figures,
Of how her actions didn’t speak the words she spoke,
Of how routine things were obsolete.
Was told it registered.
As soon as love returned,
It was nothing but a rerun,
That’s now developed into a cycle.
Now we’re both trapped.
Murky.
Dark.
Messy.
Chaotic.
Unstable.
Crumbling.
It’s a balancing act.
Maybe it’s all an act.

In the mirror, a faded picture.
Unrecognizable reflection…
Mangled from the broken frame.
Heart torn.
Spirit worn.
Losing the fight for love’s life.
Hurt and can no longer hide it.
Searching for happiness but can’t seem to find it.
Truth is glaring.
Pain piercing
Through my heart, through my soul
Unveiling emotions unheard untold.
