My Heart Screams

My heart
It used to be quiet
Beating softly inside of me
With nothing but life
Hidden where no one could see.

Then you came along
And filled my heart with hurt
Ripped it in millions of pieces
Then stapled it to the outside of my shirt.

Everyone could see how broken I was
See how my heart would scream and cry
People felt sorry for me
And I just couldn't help but want to die.

I knew I needed help
But I just curled up on my side
Let the darkness consume me
Because I knew that inside, I had died.

Laying here, I let my heart bleed through the staples
Allowing blood and tears to hit the floor
Crying softly in my mental prison
Knowing no one's going to bring comfort at my door.
