I am Strong
Can you hear my heartbeat
Loud and clear
Can you feel my heart raining
Down with tears
I feel isolated
Un-invited
Left alone to stay
Can you see my heartbeat
Slowing to a stop
I can no longer feel
What I once had sought
The happy times that flew on by
Along with the moments where I had to cry
You say that you’ve loved me
Only for me to hope and believe
That I was the one and only
For you when you said I was pretty
But since that morning of that single day
When I did not hear of what you had to say
You left me all alone…
And my pain, which I have shown
On my face that I could not hide
Gave up with a tear, I had cried.
And now, I see
That this was never meant to be
Because we spoke so little
And I, now in riddles,
You have never told me
Of this story’s end
Nor that fact that you now
Live your life so carefree
Leaving me behind in your shadows
But I shall not depend
On what I no longer can hold
And, truth be told
I never liked you
I pitied you
For liking me
And I hate me
For agreeing to you
And for once loving you.
How can you laugh it off
So easily
So happily
As if nothing has ever happened
To you
Nor to me
The scars in my heart
In which you have carved
Are nothing more
Than painful memories
The times when you look at me
When I'm here
When I'm not
Reopens the past which I buried
Forgotten
And lost
Now I know, as a mere toy,
That it was a lie
A joke in your eyes
Revenge, I seek not
Pity, I despise
Anger, I can almost die
Cry, I can no more
Why must you mock me
Torture me
Look at me
Close your eyes
Glance away from me
You have nothing to do with me
Any more.
I now stand alone
In a sunny flower field
Where the bees once buzzed
And the flowers had bloomed
But now it is over
The sky is grey
I lie down slowly
For I do not need you.
Alone.
