Fragile Poem by Leigh Ladd

Inside are my feelings, Shut off from the world, Kept well beneath, Never to be heard. The voice that I have, It cannot say a word, If raised above a whisper, You would consider it absurd. The heart that was given, Fragile like glass, Broken and shattered, Any repair is a mask. I pop open the bottle, Pour three fingers from the flask, Swallowing the pills, Very soon I shall pass. Look at my grave, Picture the body unearthed, My heartache revealed, If only you had heard. An angel from Heaven, You were my world, The fear of loss, I uttered no words.
