False Bravado

How sad that our love
is overshadowed now,
darkened by your leaving
because I didn't know how,
to grieve when you left,
to let the tears flow,
I loved you more
than you'll ever know.

I'm broken now
shattered, destroyed,
knowing in my heart
that you'll be annoyed,
at my pitiful attempt
to let out some rage,
spilling false bravado
all over the page.

Yes, I believe that it is true that some of our "heroes" are truly annoyed at our reactions. But in the end we come to our senses and admit our own strength and are able to recover.

Very good write.

Love,
