Feelings On A Bad Day

Feelings On A Bad Day
LindaC

My heart breaks yet again.
My emotions have taken me down.
Friendship is such a fragile thing.
The flame can be quenched by the heat of words.

Words lie heavy on my heart.
They cut through my soul like a knife.
Rapier sharp, they cut and leave
A tear that is always there.

I go through the day in a veil of tears.
Each word spoken takes on new meaning.
I take them to heart and respond too quickly.
I push a friend farther and farther away.

I am bereft and so very confused.
I want all of this pain to end.
I want to be who I was before.
I just want to be your friend.

The spark has gone that keeps me alive.
No dying ember remains.
I am left defenseless against my emotions.
They kill me. I can't go on.
