I told him I loved him. Even though it was clear that he couldn't hear me. I told him in the dark so that it would be impossible for him to see me. I asked him if he felt the same way with my eyes closed. So that just in case he said no, I wouldn't have to witness his lips speak the word. I asked him if he needed me. And even though I knew it wasn't so, I was curious as to if he would say yes to amuse me. To soothe me. I told him I loved him in the dark with my eyes closed, So that if his ****** expression rearranged to one of confusion, I could revert from the pain and paint an illusion behind my eyelids Of a tropical island Where it was just us. I asked him when I'm not around does he feel that something's missing. And as I realized the fact that he still wasnt speaking back, That I had been falling while he was merely slipping. But I admittedly take the blame for the cause of all this pain, Because you never think to ask permission. Yet, he stole something so dear to me without a scolding. My heart was now in his possession and my heart he'd been molding. So I had to let him know my love for him was pure, And still I'm not sure that he knows it. I then opened my eyes as he stood there frozen, I came to the light and that's when I told him, ** I want my heart back.
