On The Inside

I hated you in life

Now you’re gone

And I still do

Though it’s probably disrespectful

You killed me

Shattered me

My already fragile heart

Was splintered by you

I gave you everything

But you wanted more

You always do

That’s why you’re dead, after all

When you got tired

Of my weak excuses

You discarded me

For her

Now, I put on a sad

Face for the world

But on the inside

I’m laughing

‘That’s what you get

For being greedy

Now you’re dead

Serves you right’

At the funeral

All I see

Is tearstained faces

And dark clothes

I never knew you

Were so liked

You, the breaker

Of girls’ hearts

‘Are you alright?’

That’s what people

Keep asking me

‘Do I look alright?’ I reply

On the outside

I cry softly

On the inside

I laugh at the irony
