No One

My eyes have seen the unimaginable
So horrible that they've kept me up for weeks
The whispers and screams of a loved one
The child's tears stream down, resulting a weep

Running to grab an outstretched arm
Only to fail and fall to your death
Screaming for one who will not come
And dying as you breathe your last breath

Knowing that you will never be loved
And you wear your heart on your sleeve
And only to be take advantage of
While you die inside as you watch them leave

None has felt a pain like this
And no one will ever know
How painful this life lesson is
To not let emotions show
