r.h. Sin

I’ve come to realize

that those who smile the most

usually shed the most tears

in secret

and those who laugh the
hardest

are usually the ones who cry the
loudest

in silence.

some people spend most

of their lives

either surviving heartache

or dying from the weight

of emotional distress

shit

we’ve always wanted

too late.

no one misses you until you
walk away

no one appreciates you until
you’re gone

no one understands this until
you’ve given up on waiting for
things to get better

no one listens until silence is the
only thing left
