The Things We Left Unsaid

broken promise

We could try and try again,
yet it would still be the same—
the pain within fighting
the battle of my needs and wants,
but I could never win
because you'll always be in the middle.

I need you when I can't need anybody else,
and I want you because when I'm with you,
I can't see anybody else.
You and I together forever—
isn't that what we promised?

Yet here I am,
half of our promise shattered,
your half the one that broke me.
I wander alone,
carrying our silence,
wondering why I feel
like the only thing broken.
