BECAUSE HE SAID NO

For so long I endured all this pain
How well did I hide it
No one ever knew
They didn't even blink an eye

Silent in my room
I didn't cry
Why? It would make no use
No one opened their ears to the sounds from my room

Only one small door of escape
It lied in a single being
In that being was a voice
A voice similar to mine

I listened intently for days, weeks, and months
Letting some small part of me out in the process
But every time my pain was empty, it was filled once more
I was never empty
I was always filled with hate
Pain, suffering, and tears

No escaping it
I had enough of it
No more
His words echoed in my head
His amazing words filled with what powers this hate
Filled with compassion, tears, and everything inside of me
Enough

I finally got it out
I was empty
I was satisfied
But my satisfaction came with consequence

He ripped it from my hands
He grabbed the only thing I had left
He grabbed his words, his love
He grabbed the hammer
He shattered his words
He shattered all of it
I now had no escape
So what would I do?

I cried
I cried to him, to help me
He couldn't hear me then
He was too far away
But I heard him
He echoed in my head
He spoke to me

He told me to hold on
He told me to put it away
Drop the knife
It wasn't the end
I wouldn't be
He wouldn't let me

I smiled
He smiled
I saw a light at the end of the tunnel and I reached
I ran out of it and saw the sun
I still cried
I still died inside
I still do even now
But he spoke to me
He said no
