Title: It Broke You
Author's Notes: All my poems are not fanfic and are personal.

It broke you;

The pain was in your eyes.
Perhaps it was in your voice
With broken words
Or with words unspoken.

It broke you;

Private and personal bruises
That never showed on the surface.
A wound invisible to the eyes
That you just tried to hide.

It broke you;

Empty words of sympathy
Accompanied by useless offers
Despite the fact you feel alone
And you can't share your pain.

It broke you;

Tears shamelessly shed in private
Without prying eyes gauging
And judging as if the number of tears
Equal the amount of pain.

It broke you;

The agony was like a deep cut
Hitting an unknown artery.
It bled out without any blood
To coat your hands or the floor.

It broke you;

Standing up with tears still there
You continued with your life
With everything that was routine
Knowing it would never be the same.

It broke you;

It does not define you.
You use it to move forward
As a reason to keep going
And a goal in the back of your mind.

It broke you;

It doesn't hinder you
As you strive forward.
You never forget and remember
But try to turn it into motivation.

It broke you;

But it doesn't stop you.
But it doesn't hinder you.
But it didn't destroy you.
But you're still breathing.
