Please.
Don't Speak.
Not Yet.

Let me live in this silence.
In this limbo.

There is still hope here
that you may not break my heart.

Just give me this moment.
Please.

This could still end happily.
With hugs and kisses and promises.

It won't
But right now I can pretend.

Please.
Let me dream here longer.

But you open your perfect lips.
And I am broken.

Please.
Just leave.
Now.
Anyone who has been broken up knows this moment. It's over. You know they are going to say the words that finalize it. But there is always a silence while that person delays the inevitable and you can still hope. This is my first poem here so suggestions are welcome
