Acceptance

Items piled to the ceiling

Voices echoing

Interaction still unappealing

My heart bellowing

Never realised the hole there

Until I tried filling it

Never realised the ache

Until I stopped numbing it

The silence screams at me

Sights of your happiness floods this space

The darkness whimpers a plea

As memories trickle down my face

Never realised the pain

Until the remedies ran out

Never realised the sorrow

Until facades and masks fell off

I will never stop loving you

Yet my scars remind me why I should
