I Can't Save Our Hearts Tonight

Something that describes how i feel

Fake some laughter and fake a smile
It'll mask your hurt for a little while

Don't worry about the pain that's eating your heart
It shall soon depart

Leaving you with an empty feeling
The cuts shall soon start healing

No longer will you have to carry this burden
All the ones you love in life have left you abandoned
For their love is forbidden
Your happiness remains hidden

Caged in the corners of your heart
Wait for a saviour and a new start

Author's Note

i write in third person a lot because i imagine someone caring enough to say encouraging words like this. so im basically talking to myself

The steps of life are often hard. We have those moments that seem to stretch on into the horizon, full of storm clouds, the waves crashing against our foundation. We all feel at these moments stressed, strained and in our own ways helpless to alter the situation, so that another path might reveal itself.
I've walked this path and thought these thoughts. Your poem brings a fresh emotions that I'd thought long gone.
One thing I learned through the dark times was that our inner light never can be put out. Even during the strongest wind, the flame stays alight and will grow again. Hope and light to you. =)

i'm really sorry you feel this way. i have a friend who's a cutter. you have to start to believe that everything that goes wrong isn't your fault. you need to somehow get confidence. don't always put yourself down. i know my friend feels alot of pain -but we email each other constantly. it seems to be helping to have someone there alot. she feels just like you do. if you want to - you can send messages to me. i'll be here if you want me to be.

i love this poem... i can so relate and just the message is amazing... it sucks to be in a difficult situation were you feel like everything is your fault or you just have problem and it seems like there is no one to help but really there will come a time when you will get out and someone will really care... this poem was beautifully written and explains everything

I really liked the poem, it is a truly emotional one of a kind and I can tell you have been hurt, but stay strong at least that what I'm trying to do myself.

This poem is very well written. I am kind of have a lost of words. But what I want to say might sound like a bunch of whoha but I want to say it anyways. Your strong inner demon are inner demons always presiding with in the heart. Be strong sometimes the demon is restless and will apeased when you can get how you feel off your chest.

i like this a lot :) I write in third person/2nd person a lot of the time too. For some reason, it just makes it easier to get my feelings across compared to when I write in 1st person.
