Broken Down
I bore it all with a smile
Not a flex of muscle
Betrayed my expression
Not a word said
Displayed my inner feelings
How insensitive you seemed
To me.
I bore it all with a straight face
Not letting you know a thing
Maintaining my composure
As always
But inside me i crumbled
Crumbled like a pack of cards.
I bore it all as if nothing was wrong
But only i knew that
Nothing was going on
As i wanted.
A smile was struck on my face
But my heart was bleeding.
I said only what you wanted to hear
Only what would suit my occasion
And my false expression
But oh! How badly i wished
You would only once hold my hand
And ask, “Are you okay?”
