Speaking Silence

Breathe

I'm choking on the silence

that fills the space between us.

I'm fighting back my tears 

but you don't seem to notice.

To you I was someone, 

just passing through.

A person whom one day

you would have nothing to do.

But it was far deeper than that

(at least from what I thought I could see)

I told you we could work it out 

I told you everything 

that I wanted us to be.

Yet here we are today.

It's been a cumbersome few years.

I never thought we'd cross pathways,

there goes my biggest fear.

I mean to say something,

or scream at you for leaving.

But i'm too afraid to explode, 

so i'll just keep on breathing

and faintly say hello.
