Inside Poem by Mary Rodriguez

Standing on the edge looking into the abyss
Wondering, would I even be missed?
You think I'd learn over the years
Instead, my eyes burn from all these tears
It's hard for my heart to recover
Knowing good things rarely last forever
Whispers dance across the air
Telling stories of moments we've shared
Remember every time I've told you I love you
Listen with your heart and you'll know what I say is true
With each passing year I kept believing
Our love was not just a fleeting feeling
I thought every dream would come true
Now I know some dreams just never do
What a mess I've been since it all went wrong
Wishing for a life that's already gone
Desolation...Devastation
Is this the end? My revelation..
Feeling alone, I'm lost
Shadows haunt me like ghosts
My heart shattered like broken glass
Doubting time will help this to pass
No one knows as they pass me by
Just how broken I am inside
