Sores

When I hurt its visible not like blood leaking from my body But my eyes lack their luster, they lack their vibrancyWhen people see methey're no longer smiling because they seeThese sores that burnI had a friend tell me once she could see the difference She said the smile she saw freshman year went missing A time I didn't need a single person to make me happyThat was me I valued myself strongly there was no wethere was no usshe or hebut me I look at myself differently nowThree years have passed and I've lost some of my resilience my ability to resist what I know is wrong for temporary feelingsyes it was good while it lasted But my hearts still shatteredto its coreFrom the fakenessfrom the stress you createdhow do you feel to knowyou gave me these sores
