Again, Here I Am

I don't know how to start again
Don't know which way is up
I'm drowning in my broken heart
"Time heals all wounds"...not so much.

I am screaming.

Silently and quietly
So as not to disrupt
The self-imposed image
Of strength. And raucous laughter
And the resulting nervous looks.

Yes. I am screaming.

Look in my eyes
You will see the scream.
Believe
Me
Eyes that will beg you to find a way
To put me out of my misery.

These eyes will beg you
And you'll look away
Because you don't know the answer
Anymore than I.

I don't know how to start again.
Quite certain I don't want to.

I am screaming.
