Standing still on the other side ---
breathing,
sighing,
listening to the sound of footsteps
echoing the empty hallway.
-
-
-
Said goodbye with a smile ---
For I have no right to cry. Or beg.
Laughed at your sweet nothings
For you have no right to my feelings.
-
-
-
Said you'd miss me,
and that maybe, just maybe
you have fallen.
-
-
-
I looked away and did not comment.
-
-
-
Let's not talk about emotions
that aren't --- shouldn't
be there.
-
-
-
So this is me pushing you away
because I'm scared.
Scared because ---
Oh no more!
-
-
-
Sitting crumpled on the other side ---
barely breathing,
almost crying,
listening to the sound
of my own heart beating, breaking.
-
-
-
And you will never know
--- That I did.
--- That I do.
