Coward

Coward. 

That is the first thing that comes to mind. 

You held onto the truth so tightly 

Smiling in my face 

While anger seeped from my pores, 

The only thing keeping me from going insane, 

The over-thinker. 

Never did it cross your mind 

That I might need this? 

That perhaps my time was maybe worth it? 

A few words typed onto a page and then deleted, 

Useless. 

Wasted tears fell with no one looking,

Burning my eyes and staining my hands 

While you remained silent, 

Proudly denying my existence. 

I gave everything only to lose it in vain, 

Gifted the sudden urge 

To punch my fist through a wall 

Much like the ones 

That I so foolishly destroyed for you.-
