Kept Inside

Inner thoughts of someone who is leaving you.

hovered by confusion
my mind just cannot rest
you won't be here to see my downs
or to see me at my best

pushed away by one, but welcomed by another
my sadness will not hide
no matter what is said of you
i am on your side

how come this parting must hurt so much?
why can't i tell you so?
the feelings that i keep inside
never will they show

my face i keep a rock
my tears will never stream
outside i may seem normal
but inside me wants to scream

in my heart it burns for you
something i cannot show
alone before my eyes grow tired
i cry until they close

you know things will be different
once you have gone away
you may not share this changing home
but your memory will stay
