Heartbroken



In my heart you are
like the undead,
many words that
are still unsaid.

In my mind you
will always be,
but my heart must
set you free.

Outside I will always
fake a smile,
but inside i will
hurt for awhile.

I cant force
you to say yes,
and the truth I
wont confess.

I am hurt, heart broken
and upset, seems like your
words i cant forget.

You are in my wishes
and my dreams,
but why did you
have to leave.
