A poem about broken love and how the man in the relationship can't let go. |
-Never Speak- by Keaton Foster Silent You must remain Refrain from speaking Let no sound escape Betray your ways Say nothing more to hurt me Not another word Just turn and walk away Betray the love made Easily tear it down Lay it all to waste Forget our once beautiful shape Crushed under the weight Applied By both you and I And the mistakes we’ve made Hate me If that is what it takes I will resist such a way I will continue to love you Because it’s all that I have Nothing else is truly mine My heart will be gone Sunken too far down In a constant state of fall It will never rise again It will never feel another How could it ever You are my only one I will write you many songs I will pen you many poems All of them will be about you and I But none of them will get us Back to where we belong Never speak Is all that I can say Turn and walk away Watching you go will be hard Damn near impossible But what choice do I have You assured me that There is no chance Such assurances I believe I did what I could And for a brief time That was enough Now the cup is both Half full and almost empty In the middle is where I will always remain Loving you as you no longer Love me in any possible way I will be sad for only myself When you manage to find another Until then, like a sickened fool Standing upon the stoop of death I will retain a semblance of hope No one will know but me No one will see that in you I leave all the love That I could have ever wished To be so capable of… Never Speak Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
