My eyes burn as I
Try to hold back these
Tears.
I sit on the edge of
The bed we’ve
Made love on,
But never felt love in,
And watch you pack your things.
I want to scream,
Anything to make you stop
Packing away
The life we’ve
Built together.
You look at me,
Not bothering to
Stop the tears.
Hoping, praying that
I say something to make you stay.
We both know the words
You need to hear
Won’t ever come
From these lips of mine.
You leave, the tears fall,
The walls break,
The warmth is gone.
At least I know I’m
Safe.
