Your words wound me deeply,

Your silence hurts even more.

I realize now that I treated you cheaply,

And for you I was such a bore.

I know that I hurt you,

I know that I can’t fix us.

If you could just give me one

Of too many last chances.

When you said that you couldn’t do it,

I swear my heart hit the ground.

Your lips were moving quite a bit,

But I couldn’t hear the sound.

I know you heard my screams,

Of regret and of pain.

I was bursting at the seams,

Trying to get you back again.

You left with tears on your face,

But my eyes were dry.

You left me like it was a race,

And I couldn’t help but remember why.

If it could change anything,

I would have cried to have you back.

I wanted to scream when I saw you leaving,

Then came the silent sobs that i couldn’t hold back.
