I Died Today
I died today.
Quite suddenly,
Unexpectedly.
When dreams are shattered
And hope smatters all thoughts,
Then life matters little.
I cried today.
Unusual,
To see my tears falling.
When friends leave our lives,
And loneliness resides,
Then life matters little.
I lied today.
Ashamedly,
Deliberately.
My conscience nagged me,
Protecting me from harm
Caused by a broken heart.
Yes, I died today.
