Just when I was thinking we were close,
You left me, didn’t even say adios.
You’re distant, when did love grow hard?
Was I bragging too much about what we had?

In the past, I cherished your presence,
But then I boxed and stored you up like presents.
Oh, I looked forward to your embrace,
But now I yell and shut the door in your face.

Please tell me, will you ever come back?
I’m here with a broken heart, I want you back.
It’s my fault, but why did you leave me?
Can you find it in yourself to forgive me?

I wrote you a poem, don’t know why…
I meant every word then, but now it’s a lie.
I’m willing to live the words I spoke,
And very eager to repair what I broke.

I said I couldn’t live without you,
But sadly I still gave it a try or two.
I would say my life is just the best,
If I could ignore all the pain, fear, and stress.

Could you read my thoughts from over there?
I muttered softly that I didn’t need you.
Even when it’s just the two of us,
My mind wanders along to find someone else.

I’ve been hanging out with all the boys,
Whose well-fitting names are Roar, Chaos, and Noise.
I’ve grown to like their rebel style,
Forgotten, I left you out the whole while.

I wrote your poem, did you like it?
I meant those words, but I have changed I admit.
I’m thinking about second chances,
And how I could get away from the masses.

If I could choose to make it your turn,
After what I’ve done, would you ever return?
I’ve grown tired of life without you,
I will miss Noise, but I missed you, too.

You’re always so peaceful, loving, and kind,
You never judged if I needed to unwind.
Please, accept this sad apology,
But this time I’m void of any polity.

I pledge loyalty to you once more,
I’ll shake it off and focus if I feel bored.
You give such worth to my existence,
Oh hear my sorry cry, please come back, Silence.
