Delayed Pain

And from there,

I waited, waited for the pain

to finally hit me again,

I waited, always agitated

never calm.

Knowing the pain would finally come,

I prepare myself for worse to come,

I chain my heart and cage it

to let it be serene and calm,

no it did not work.

I let my guard down once,

the pain was unbearable,

I was six feet under water,

yet nobody heard my cries.
