Long Confusionheart Poems

Damaged

is  my heart breaking?
i can't tell
in my silence 
i can't hear my heart yell

shouldn't this loss sorrow me?
can't i feel sadness to some degree
maybe it was the way you treated me
or the way you didn't treat me

could it have been something you said
or that something in your face i read

there was no absence of malice 
in some of the things you did
even then i never wished you dead

but wish you away
my heart i trust
into banishment
into a box where 
old forgotten things belong 

perhaps this is the best way
just leave me alone
let me fade away

i in my bitterness and lack of zeal
that thing you did
damaged the way i feel
