I hurt
An ache so deep in my chest
It leaves me struggling for air
Can I force myself to do this?
Continue to hold in what bothers me
Plaster a bright smile on my face
Pretend that your actions don’t drive me insane?
Marry you
Bind myself to you in every sense
And be stuck with these feelings
Tucking them away into a little box in my soul
For the rest of my days
Can I go through with it?
This would certainly be the way to go
Where our child is concerned
But can I live with myself after?
Willingly give up my peace?
Compromising and always giving
Only to never receive the same courtesy
I’m not so sure
I hurt
