my love
how can you destroy
me so?
how can you let me
go?
and leave me here
in silence
how can you decide
to never speak
again
not a whim
not a whisper
of the way your
heart had turned
and I am left
here in silence
lying to myself
forcing myself to
believe that
it doesn’t hurt me
that it doesn’t make
me cry
you were my everything
and you never said goodbye
how could you destroy
me so?
