A Life Changing Event

I can't explain just how  
I feel. 
  I know my heart will never 
Heal. 

  If you could see what I  
See. 
  What just could never 
Be. 

  I was a part of a  
Whole. 
  Now I have a wounded 
Soul. 

  My wound is not healing 
Well. 
  There are things my mouth 
Will not tell. 

  The mask I wear, 
I try to smile. 
  Even if it's for a little 
While. 

  I can see you in a  
Crowd. 
  I holler your name out 
Loud. 

  People stare and my smile 
Shows the pain. 
  I could buy a ticket on the 
Crazy train. 

  My laughter comes from a  
Broken soul. 
  Being your other half made 
Me whole. 

  My heart surrounded by 
The darkness. 
  You're so cold and seem so 
Heartless. 

  The memories haunt and  
Torture me. 
  It's either depression or 
Anxiety. 

  Mental anguish, my soul lives 
In torment. 
  A Category five life changing 
Event.
