This silence is deafening,
And the air is filled with blades.
and your tears keep falling
Trailing down your face.
I can't hear through the thickness of the air
And can't breathe from the brutality of your stare.
The room is quaking
And your hands are shaking.
And my heart is bleeding
And my soul is pleading.
The words are hanging still
You could just knock them down.
But you've said them
And displayed them
And there is no going back.
My eyes are stinging
And these tears are bringing
A reality of their own.
The noose around our love is tighter
And the blood flow is lighter
As the air is getting sharper
by the minute.
I'm bleeding and you're leaving,
And the whole room is grieving.
For the words you spoke
Have left me broke,
I'm drowning in this flow
of steady tears
As I watch you
Slowly
Go.
