Home Alone

Disclaimer: be prepared to cry, this is a very sad poem

Home alone
You break down

You're letting out everything

It's more than a frown

Cause you just wanna drown

Then they come home

And here you go

Red eyes, it hurts to smile

But you can laugh, so that's fine

Hide it all somewhere deep inside

But don't let them catch you lying

Pretending that you're okay

They don't suspect a thing

They don't even know

That their child was breaking a second ago, 

With every breath they inhaled

That the moment they go, leave you alone

It's just going to happen again

That your insides will burn and your outsides will sting

And that you will clutch and embrace the pain

That inside, you will break

I was itching to write something, so I did.
