Feeling Verses

You came out of nowhere

Completely unexpected.

Like a ray of light in a stormy sky

Making me hope one day you’d be mine

But leaving me empty-handed

Although sometimes letting me live

in my hopeful illusion.

You changed my world

Not always for good

You taught me what it means to care for someone

Like we care for each other

What great importance little things have

What comfort a hug can give

What emotions kisses can have

If only you want them to

You looked after me

Helped me mend my broken heart.

But then you threw everything away

Ripped my heart right out my chest,

Blood gushing out,

You stomped on it

Shattered it

Until there was nothing left.

But you taught me what pain is

What rejection feels like

Where desperation drives you

How evil people could be.

My pain hidden by anger

My heart shielded in stone

My tongue vested in venom

My eyes covered in ice.

This is what you did to me.

And I thank you for that

Because my pain made me grow

Your rejection made me stronger

Desperation showed me sanity

And your evilness gave me a reason to be good

Because behind every smile

There could be someone dying inside

Behind every laughter

There could be someone crying inside

Behind every word

There could be deeper meaning

And behind every face there is a heart

Covered in bruises,

In scars stitched up.

Just like mine will be.
