i should never have told you.

 

"Your pain is in the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."

 The tears rolled down her cheeks
as she stood by the sea.
The waves were soothing,
somehow comforting.
The irresistible urge
to curl up and breakdown,
to whine with fist clenched tight
but she stops there.

The tears rolled down her cheeks
as she stood by the sea.
The waves get bigger
a little too close for comfort.
The irresistible urge
to move away from the danger
to get to safety
but it was too late.

The tears rolled down her cheeks
as she stood by the sea.
The waves were so huge
they splashed onto her face
and her tears were drowning,
washed away from her cheek,
overcome with shock,
overcome with devastation.

 

 The tears rolled down her cheeks
as she stood by the sea.
Disappointed by what it had done,
she wanted to run,
only to slip and fall,
for the floor was slippery.
It was all downhill
and the climb would be the toughest.

Can you keep a secret?
Can you tell me why tears exist?
Can you tell me what I did wrong?
Can you tell me why I'm still here?

I never should have let you see inside.

Don't want it troubling in your mind.

Won't you let it be.
