my quiet pain

I watched you drift away
I watched you cuts the ties
I watched you burn our history
And I couldn't stop hurting.

I tried to put up walls
I tried to slow my fall
I tried to stop loving you
And I couldn't stop falling.

I cried so quietly
I cried just for me
I cried late at night
And I couldn't stop the tears.

I heard your words
I heard you call me 'cold' and 'bitch'
I heard you tell me I could do better
And all I wanted was to be deaf so I couldn't hear you anymore.

I laid down hoping to hide from it all
I laid down to try to ease the ache
I laid down hoping I'd never have to get up again
But I couldn't, every morning I still had a life to attend to.

I wish I could stop the ache
I wish I could stop missing you
I wish I could go back and stop myself
But I can't, all I can do is sit here and try not to drown.
