Now I Know Why

Just look me in the eyes

Because now, I can see the shards protruding from your chest

You tell me it once was your heart

But now there is nothing left

You say it's getting better

But I know it's getting worse

You say you are fine

But you already rented a hearse

You are still listening to that song, hung up on one verse

But you still let your demons curse, let them fill you with lies

No matter how many times you ask for help, nobody hears your cries

On the inside you are begging pleading, feeling like you are going to die

But your father forbade you to cry....

That is why you can't look me in the eyes

Honest and direct words. My favorite kind.
"But you already rented a hearse
You are still listening to that song, hung up on one verse"
Hard to learn when we are surrounded by lies. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

This comes a little to close for me as you can see by my icon, it was drawn by a friend who thinks me emotionless because, well the reasons don't matter :~) I like the premise and your storyline is memorable, it was a pleasure to read.

Lots of pain and anger in this piece. Very personal. Love in all the wrong directions. Good luck on finding focus and the happiness you seek. Well done
