Concealed Traveler

My heart

completely shattered

watching you

long for her

 

Tears sting my eyes

as you cleverly

avoid them

fearing I may see

your truth

 

Sadness oozes

from your pores

letting my

broken heart know

 

Your thoughts

are consumed with

the loss of her

as mine are filled

with the loss of you

 

Battered emotions

now inert

as my eyes desperately

search yours

 

Am I still in there

somewhere

or are you hers

without a doubt

 

Sadness sits

upon my tongue

stifling my words

with hurt and doubt

 

Reality unveiled

a truth my soul

now struggles to

figure out

 

Your body is present

but your heart

is stuck

cradled silently in hers

 

Mask affixed

reality dismissed

while your song

rings where

your heart now belongs

 

Fragments of hope

caged securely inside

longing for a heart

no longer mine

Sea breeze clears my mind as the waves washes the tension away. Belize my native land that breathes creativity and uniqueness with every ray of sunshine. Written words my way of standing up and speaking out.
