Packing Away Calm
He looks so much like you.My heart hurts.
My eyes burn
With the tears I refuse to cry.
Even if I wanted it to its not true.
This isn' the aching moment after goodbye.
This is the second you find someone
Who looks like the person you loved & lost..
This is the moment
Where you feel like you need to run.
The moment you feel the true cost.
And for me?
This hurts all too well.
I keep my calm.
Walk as if I'm not aware.
Even the most watchful stranger couldn't tell.
I don't clench my fist.
Don't cry because you didn't care.
He looks like you.
It takes everything I have not to run out of there.
But still I am strong.
I stand my own.
Within the four walls that are miles apart
I couldn't feel any less alone.
Baby,
This is home.
