Breaking

By Korruption

The pain of separation.
Not of your choice but someone else's.
They leave,
Abandon you in your time of need.
You try to hide your pain,
You try not to cry.
Try to hide your tears behind a wall,
The wall becomes a mask,
The mask becomes permanent.
Slowly over time you lose sight of who you are.
You start to wonder who will be there when you break?
How close you are to breaking? 
When you do break you fall apart.
No one is there,
You cry out in pain but no one can hear you,
Because they aren't listening.
They never will hear you cry.
They say let it out, 
Tell someone.
But for you there is no one to tell,
No one who will listen,
They all shove you off to someone else
Each of them worried with their own plans.
Yet slowly you fall down,
You see the walls crashing around you as the sky falls.
In one final attempt to cry out you scream,
Then it all goes black,

And you lose sight of yourself. For one last time before part of you dies.

    I must apologize if my commenting on your work seems trite! Your words are from your soul therefore I feel it is a wonderful piece. The emotion is thick as you read, making the reader feel the writers intentions. Very well penned.

    Thank you I try to only write when I'm feeling one emotion so the work isn't muddled.
