Left Unspoken

Info

There are words that need to be left unspoken.
To not ruin a family, a situation,
To not break a heart.
To not break those fluids that will flow from one's eye.
To remain happy.
To remain unhurt.
To make history remains history.
To shut up.
Closed eyes.
Remain breathing.
Feel the silence.
And walk away.

There are questions that should left unspoken.
To prove them that you are right.
You're not wrong.
That not everytime they can blame you
To remove guiltyness,
To make things remain a mystery.
To be unknown about things because truth can be more the heaviness you'd expect.

However, there are times you will have this intoxicated feeling.
Like you can't breathe and you've been tied inside a cage.
Like you're drowning.
Falling in an endless pit.
And you can't get back up.

There comes regret.
Things left unsaid,
unspoken piles up inside.
Pain can be so excruciating.
You can only survive if you pretend.
Until you can never be identified and you'll be the unknown.
You'll be invincible.
You'll feel that you've been far away from people.
Like you are slowly fading away.
You cannot touch them.
You cannot talk nor converse with them.
You'll feel estranged.
Asking why these people doesn't know you.
Why these people look at you with blank stares.
They could not recognize you.
You're trasparent.
You seem like a statue whose been stuck in the same position for ever.
You could not move nor move on.
You cannot find these perfect and right pieces for you.
You will eventually know..
that you are left alone.
Alone with your heart that is slowly losing its beat.
Losing its life.

Positive: I love how you play with the words, the ideas connected with one another each line. Images build up each stanza. What needs improvement: I guess it would be the consistency of the grammar although it is a poem, we should be cautious of it. At the end, nabitin ako. Hahaha but nice poem! ?
