(no subject)
she wears it well, the bitterness --
some would even say with class
and they watch her from afar
wishing they could climb inside her skin,
tear a tiny bit off for themselves --
a bit of bitterness to satiate
(if only for a moment)
the need to scream and cry
release the pain
the grief
ugly sobbing
but what they don't know
is that she watches them
longing for a piece of their grief
or anything
(anything!)
that would let her cry
because anything would be better
than this
empty bitterness she holds so close
and wears so well
