Whispers to Screams

As day turned to night
and they said they’re last goodbyes
the moon rose over the horizon
and granted her one tear to hold on to her
pain and never forget what could’ve been.

As night turned to day
she brushed the tear away
and remembered every moment
she couldn’t save in the darkest recesses
of her mind forever.

Life went on and she became hollow
while wishing everything was different
and no one listened to her cries of shame
and torture because she needed to let go
and couldn’t find a way.

Her memories of that night faded, but the pain
was ever present in the hole he created
as he walked away, bringing her happiness
and joy with him, leaving her alone
in his past, never looking back.

Whispers of pain and regret turned into
screams of pain and agony, never leaving her side
and following her everywhere she went
to remind her to close herself off to all the
heartache she would encounter if she opened up again.

The memories once so precious were lost, but
the hurt would be there forever, never letting her escape
and screaming over and over again
“You let him walk away and now he’ll never be back
to heal the heart he spilt wide open.”

And as day turned to night
and she said her last goodbyes to her life
the moon rose over the horizon
and granted her one tear to hold on to her
pain and never forget what could’ve been.
