Emotional Shrapnel Contest
Your recent reveal was a sad steal of all I knew. My memory now bleeds severely making days blue. My world shattered and scattered across the floor. Something dying is out loud crying aching and sore. Your truth so grilling it is piercing the past I saw. Now that I am bruised by your news I am plain raw. Feeling a fragile head from words said I’m torn apart. No light to lend so darkness will bend and ease my heart. I will long mourn this unwanted thorn that makes me cry. I must ride the storm then wake some morn with my eyes dry. I need healing so I am willing to see tears gone. Accepting plight to put thoughts aright I must play strong. I accept what I cannot reject for I love you. Not knowing truth would alter my youth your story flew. Nothing to gain by showing my pain so I hushed true. Explanation of revelation will not ease me. You had a need to stop your own bleed to set hurt free. Never will you meet the strain of pain for me, not thee.
