She wasn't the kind of person
Who sobbed loudly.
No.
She was the kind of person
Who hid her tears from everyone.
Who cried late at night when
Everyone else was asleep.
Who had to grab her stomach
To hold herself together.
Who silently gasped for air.
Who had no one but the moon
To comfort her

You promised that
When you left you
Wouldn't forget about me,
But darlin did forget
About me
And the saddest part is,
You haven't left yet.

It's not what you said,
But the silence you left
That cut through me
Like a knife.

Remember when we used
To talk all night?
I miss that.

In my dreams you love me too.
In my dreams you never leave.
In my dreams we are happy together.
In reality you are
Gone.

I am a light switch.
Instead of on or off,
It's I love you
Or
I hate you.
