Fresh Wounds

Poem by Alicia Ayala

Is it ever okay to give into my broken heart?

The heart and feelings that tear me apart

The tears I feel but can no longer cry

The love I have for you but continue to hide

Inside my soul has been torn into two

Since the day you decided to leave me too

The trust and faith that has been thrown away

The agony of whether to hold on or look away

Not knowing what the hell to do

I ponder if you ever feel this way too..

Looking up at the sky and continuing to ask god why

The best thing that happened to me is the one who took the other half of me

I’m here feeling helpless and afraid, so vulnerable with nothing left to say

My shattered soul heaves with every breath

Maybe one day what we had won’t be left

What ifs plague my mind…as if saying goodbye is an end of our time

When will this pain go away.

The days I’ve cried with no end

I thought the worst part was over, but it seems it just began
