As quick and good as it came
It went.
Silent without warning
I sat in my empty space
Letting go
Not really believing.
I looked in a mirror,
at the evil,
I never thought Id encounter,
and within myself
I saw something born,
that I never wanted to deal with,
and I knew inside,
what we'd have to do.
How all this we made,
we'd now have to let go,
and I hope you know
this will surely kill me too.
When the silence comes
I feel it slice my heart
I remember the smiles,
the laughter,
all our little words,
how we came to be,
how we came together.
Now my insides curl,
They break,
crack and decay,
as I recall better days.
Once I let you go
But it was meant to be
What happened now?
Didn't we always say
we'd keep things this way?
We'd be strong.
Together we'd be forever.
You used to tell me,
I was stuck with you.
Forever. Then why is today,
like a sick dream?
One where the sun shines
but you always wonder where's the ending?
I couldn't look in your eyes
They watered and veins showed.
I couldn't touch your skin
I couldn't feel what I'd lose
I hope one day you forgive me
I never meant for us to be this way.
Author notes
I wrote this a minute ago. I broke up with my boyfriend 2 days ago after a 3 year relationship. We didn't want to, but we both knew it would be for the better and we couldn't stay together. I feel good, but empty at times. This is a reflection in a way.
