SILENCE

Today I said my goodbyes

as you walked away

And I cried and cried

Knowing that this day was coming

But really not expecting it

Yesterday we smiled

Our lips touched

And today

The emptiness of the aftermath

Loneliness was my only companion

I miss you,

The words spoken by you linger in my ears

I want you

please don’t leave me

And then

No more was left

Silence

TARNISHED

I want to scream

but what for

The tears are burning

And my heart

numb

hollow

I can’t phantom

the thoughts

running through

My mind

Perhaps

this foolish beat will subside

And the paradise that was

will

Re-appear.

I DIDN'T

My lips are burning and the residue that is left

Is the constant reminder of what can’t be?

I have fallen and I don’t know how to get up

And the wounds are deafening and the heart let down.

One minute I was walking on air, and then searching for air

As it becomes harder to breathe

Well…nothing is what it seems and

I although weaken by the plunge

I will stay away from the only good thing that I know.

Love; do you believe in love at first sight?

I didn’t.
