The Strength to Say

Voices ring like wedding bells,

laughter sounds like hope;

it's nice that you've found happiness,

but you completely forgot about me.

We used to be friends, allies;

we used to have each other's backs.

Now, you've gone and abandoned

the one you'd swear you never left. 

It's nice to know I'm loved;

it's nice to know you care.

But we were meant to stick together,

and you ran the first chance you got.

I scream at the top of my lungs,

yet you still don't hear.

What's the point of holding on

if there's nothing here?

I just want to thank you,

for leaving me behind.

My heart shatters and shimmers,

until I've spoken every line.
