Want Me

My heart gave up, yes it did!

Turning down every emotion, I ever hid.

Cloaked in silence I strolled, meeting to forbid.

I kept saying to myself, "I am fine" when I am nothing but,

This pain in my soul rips my gut.

Fire seems all over me but I burn from within.

With a calm face and an aching heart,

I walked down the aisle with a grin.

With no idea of the life ahead,

Swallowed by the unending fears.

I waited for someone to see,

The mask, I now will put on for years..

But this time don't care to remove it,

That's all I could say silently,

Wearing the ring with fear....
