DISAPPOINTMENT

31 2 4
                                    

Every moment we talk and laugh together,
But I'm exhausted from pretending forever.
All I want is to cry out loud and clear,
To tell you I can't bear it, my dear.

When you look into my eyes and say, "Keep fighting,"
I always smile back, but it's tiring.
Inside, I yearn for you to understand,
To embrace me tightly, holding my hand.

As our hands intertwine, I squeeze tight,
But pretending wears me down, day and night.
All I want is for you to let me be,
Knowing you deserve someone better than me.

The tears flow each night, a constant stream,
While I lie to you, my heart breaking, it seems.
Breathing feels heavy, every second a strain,
As the pain inside me slowly drains.

Yet, I'm tired of pretending, it's true,
That I'm not breaking, losing myself too.
For the truth is, deep down, I'm in despair,
Feeling like a disappointment, beyond repair.



~~~~ this poem is for the person I will disappoint, to the person I've been waiting to hear those words

and for myself....
