I Am Not Angry

I am not angry
By Dakota Cowan

the silent screams my heart cried out when you broke me. 
the tears stuffed in my back pocket, dripped down my jeans, 
knowing you had my heart in your hands 
you continued to crush it,
my thoughts were growing louder as my voice went silent. 
to you it was nothing more than a moment. 
to me it was all the memories we created disappearing. 
shattered into a million pieces, you tried putting it back together. 
but my silences turned into walls 
walls you could no longer get through. 
I'm not angry, I'm naive. 
for thinking the love i had for you
you had for me
