You left without a word,
It hurt,
I swallowed  it like a bitter pill.
I carry a fake smile,
I lead my normal life as if nothing has happened,
I tell one and all you are my past.
But, every evening I await for you at the front door,
Thinking why you have not come  as yet.
I sold out my existence
in trying to buy your love.
I only write when I'm sad
Does that make me mad?
When I wish to be dead
And all these holded tears are shed
I turn to poetry and suddenly life's not as bad
I don't know what I would do without it
how do you do something
that half of your body protests?

how do you leave behind
something that has made you so happy?

how to do you accept
that this will be for the greater good?

i have no answers to these questions
only silence
and decisions to be made
this applys to more than one thing in my life

Those words are like a switchblade
With a steel knife

You stuck in my jugular
And ripped straight through my windpipe
