Truth

Silent
Screaming without sound
Sorrow
Pain
Broken heart
See all the pieces
There's a name
Upon each piece a single word
How foolish I was
Dumb and naive
I believed
Thought I could see the truth
How could it happen
A few words
The world turned upside down
A single voice
A light turned on
A tear and a smile
The world changes
But my heart wants the truth

Talk about a mind rollercoaster. I was literally blown away by this piece. Wow, it's like you looked into the minds and hearts of every person in the world who has been in a relationship and left them on a blank document. Fantastic Work
