I cry alone.
It’s easier that way
No one to see the tears
Or look at the pain.
No one to care if my makeup fades
No one to care at all.
I find places to hide
To let the disappointment
The hollowness
The hopelessness
Wash over me like caustic water
To let the tears flow
As if they can wash it all away.
But after, I am merely tired
And angry at myself.
How nice it would be
To have two arms waiting
To hold me and tell me
That I am okay.
That I am loved and cared for.
But instead,
The world awaits,
So I pat my face dry
Emerge from hiding
And put on the false bravado
That shields me from the public.
But inside, the armor failed,
And I bleed…
Alone.
