By Erika Davies
my voice inside a jar
on a string
at bay
trapped behind glass
under pressure
twisting
shouting
he cannot hear me, or
he just won't listen
breaking hearts try and mend themselves
as i picture his face
appearing kind and gentle, i catch that fading sparkle yearning to be rekindled
i cannot help myself
memories welling up
eyes dripping, heavily
sometimes i hold it all in
that day
that secret
that moment i fell in,
then out of love
