Her Epitaph

I silently listen as tears frame my face,
then your voice devours the surrounding space.

I swiftly attempt to extinguish my tears,
while slamming the door to my darkest fears.

Then I can laugh and smile like nothing's wrong,
for I have to make you believe I am strong.

Because I can't let you know,
how it hurts to let you go.

So I sit here hiding tears in my eyes,
quietly shrouding the untamed lies.

But sometimes I wonder if the words I've said,
have ever whispered and screamed inside someone's head.

And could they tear or break a heart,
showing how far I've drifted apart.

So are things better masked in lies,
hiding truth inside leadened eyes?
