The Sound of Heartbreak
Shelby N Smith 1986 (Maryland)
Do you know the sound your heart makes as it breaks inside your chest?
A deafening symphony of glass breaking and waves crashing
As each memory assaults you, beating the tears out relentlessly
You gasp for air, for some relief
But it continues blaring on incessantly
You fall, gripping your chest, as the pain tightens it's hold, tears flow because surely this is the end..
Why is Noone helping, can't they see your in need?
No no they can't, how can they?
they can only see the smile you wear so deceivingly
