Nothing Comes From You: A Poem



You are always there on celebration day
With a kind word,
Encouragement, and praise
Party for the ages.
But
The sun always goes down,
Rainy days come around.
When the skies parted, you departed.
Broken pieces,
Fear soiled cheeks,
Scrutinized, and torn apart.
Can a broken heart break more?
It can.
Timetables and opinions
Captured in a clear glass box
But no one sees pain.
Invalid,
We discard the hurting hearts.
Thank you for being there on my
Sunshine days,
For scattering on my cloudy ones.
I know now what to expect from you.
Nothing.  

- Hannah
