It makes me ill
sickness building up in my stomach
clenching my heart from the inside
threatening it to cease beating
tears build a dam behind my eyes
emotion I have long ago suppressed
now burning my soul from within
smiles never meant for me
grins masked with falsity
closeness disguising unreachable distance
Chasing a fugitive past
taken refuge within my memory
too many words unspoken
lines I beg you to read between
when you havent even opened the book
my hands close upon an intangible shadow
as you unknowingly leave my side

"too many words unspoken

i had avery bad friend once who never tried to understand me and all i wanted was to be known but she was too consumed with herself. she never noticed when anything was wrong with me. i wrote a peom about it actually. she just never read between the lines
really great poem!! 🫶
