I sob when I'm alone

I lay here in the bed
Lost in the never said
Try to mend the broken
Left hurt by the spoken
My heart is in the cold
Didn’t mean to I am told
I can take the blame
Even own the shame
How long can I last
Strength, but only cast
Weakness clearly shown
I sob when I’m alone

The brief lines really
The brief lines really emphasize a level of despair, somehow, as if the poet is finding hard to express the depth of the hurt. It's a great effect, honestly. I have always loved aabb rhyme, and use it quite a bit myself. It's very effective here as well. Heartbreakingly real and well composed, nicely done.
