All the Words I Couldn't Say

I hide behind fake smiles
And good advice.
Words of encouragement
Mask the tears which
Make it hard to speak.

I'm screaming inside
"I love you"
And all that escapes
Is a disguised sigh.

Happy images plague me
Haunt me, taunt me
In my sleepless slumber.

"I love you"
And you just walk away.

I love you...

    This was a great poem, short and sweet, I like how you conveyed such emotion in such few verses... Please keep writing, you did so well on this poem. Be proud of yourself. :

    Truthful

    This is one of my favorite kind of poems. The kind that gives voice to that inner contradiction that so many of us have felt but rarely give words to, perhaps because it's painful enough to deal with let alone revisit in thoughts.

    Thanks yous

    The poem was good it was short but it had enough emotion in it and it flowed well enough for how short it was and I can really relate to this poem... yeah I know I say that a lot but... it hurts to talk to the person u love about the person they're in love with when its not you
