Her Pain That Suffocates

Her pain broke my soul

and brought my heart to its knees.

A fear she created within me,

one that will never cease.

I scream out aloud,

but without any sound.

I have a hundred questions,

but she will never answer even one.

It feels like I cannot breathe,

even when I can feel the wind.

My soul does not want to move,

even when my body feels the urge.

Her pain is so deep,

I can feel my soul being cut,

and it stands still, wanting no escape,

because she is holding the knife.

She thinks I moved on,

but she will never see that I am stuck.

My days and life move forward,

but my soul stays where she once was.

I wish she never stands in my place,

as she wouldn't bear the pain like I do.
