The Mistake of Shyness
 
My heart pounds…
My soul screams out,
and yet I look calm as he walks away.
Tears stream down my cheeks
as he disappears
down the path of Life.
I kept silent too long,
and now he's gone.
 
Why do I insist on appearing emotionless,
even while I scream out in silent agony?
All I ever wanted was love.
yet all I received was ambivalence,
which I misinterpreted as hate.
 
I walk away from this
a totally different person.
My spirit has been snapped in two
like a sapling bent low during a winter gale,
and despite all of the super glue and duct tape
that has been applied over the years,
it will never be the same again.
