Speaking Without a Mouth (Poetry Collection)

How Long

how do you know, and how can you trust

when one things a don't and the other's a must

to sacrifice so much, for someone who just

could care less for you than the dust

in the air, on the wall, on the floor,

to try the best you can in every possible way

not to believe, but just how can you say

you don't care, just to my own dismay

just in the back of my mind, its not going to be okay

not here, not there, not ever

f o r e v e r ?

but does it hurt you inside;

does it pain you,

does it burn?

what do you want me to do;

to pain you,

or a turn?

or does it matter,

or does it not,

or is it because you think i'm selfish

for feeling this way,

but you know my reason,

because it's you.

because it's a chain reaction

because you knew it would happen

but you didn't do anything,

or so you say.

because you want me to forget,

because you know that i wont,

because you know me so well..

and you never take the blame,

when you know you were wrong,

when you know that i don't do these things to you

but you do it to me and you wont stop

how long will this go
