Internal Conflict

A Poem by Haley Lynn Thomas

I couldn't bring myself to say

I miss you

I couldn't bring myself to say

I love you

All I could think to myself was

I need you to leave

All I could think to myself was

I need you to stay

I couldn't bring myself to admit

That I miss

The way things used to be

The way we used to be

I couldn't bring myself to admit

That it makes me sad

To look you in the eyes

When once I couldn't look away

I'm scared to admit

That yesterday I sat down and cried

Tears fell from my eyes

Saltwater stained my pillows

I'm scared to admit

That I still want you to stay

Even though we don't talk anymore

Even though I know you despise me

The things I can't bring myself to say...

I write poetry, short stories, and novellas. Most of my poetry is inspired by real people and events in my life. more..
