Abstract

ss all my feelings, I swallow my pain I swear whatever may come, it won’t happen again Why did I trust you? Tell me, who is to blame? Why did I love you? My poor heart is aflameMy fingers are shaking, my blood’s running cold Just the thought of you challenges my control My heart cries for you, locked up in a cage I must not let it out, or I’ll break down again I build walls out of concrete, barbed wire on top I shut myself in, so my suffering may stop I need to be careful, just a moment’s enough If I let down my guard, you will see through my bluffRiots break out, my emotions protest My heart fights i

Of heartbreak and heartache — A poem

These bridges we built, I’m tearing them down Fiery explosions, they shatter the ground All this pain you have brought me is bleeding me out So I censor your photos, and mute every sound I suppress all my feelings, I swallow my pain I swear whatever may come, it won’t happen again Why did I trust you? Tell me, who is to blame? Why did I love you? My poor heart is aflame

My fingers are shaking, my blood’s running cold Just the thought of you challenges my control My heart cries for you, locked up in a cage I must not let it out, or I’ll break down again I build walls out of concrete, barbed wire on top I shut myself in, so my suffering may stop I need to be careful, just a moment’s enough If I let down my guard, you will see through my bluff

Riots break out, my emotions protest My heart fights its prison, puts its steel to the test So I send out my soldiers, fire at will They know no emotions, they don’t feel any guilt All resistance must break, all traitors be shot I need to forget you, but I fear I cannot I am caught in this war, between my heart and my soul, And while I tell you “I’m fine”, again I’m losing control.
