suffering

by kyra

By kyraPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

as I suffer inside

on the outside my smile becomes even bigger

so I can appear to others that whilst i am broken inside

I am still smiling on the outside

conceal .

And after weeks of morning this relationship I came to the realisation that I needed me a bit more than he ever deserved

forced to love my own company

because one comes and ten will leave

it hurts a bit more each time

i am so caught up on how happy i used to be

I eat my dinner with loneliness and sadness

beneath my smile is the comfort of my betrayal

I bury myself in fake smiles and force laughter because I’m afraid of my own emotional truth

He left me alone forever that the only company I have on my thoughts and feelings
