You didn't have to leave

by selene   Oct 25, 2007


When you died
my heart spilled into my lungs
choking, suffocating
i couldn't breathe for
what could have been days
it's a wonder i'm not with you
in the ocean blue
we call sky

and i had to hide my angst
because of what he thought
he will never believe
there was nothing more than
a deep friendship

do you know what it feels like to hide an immense sorrow from those whom you love for fear of being scorned? and for a lie.
it breaks you down inside
you could lose yourself
in this hurt

i miss you, more than words could ever hope to
describe
i miss you, and i wish you knew
no one else seems to understand

you didn't have to leave, frank

-reading my mother's thoughts
