I have a million thoughts running
through my head, circling like wheels
but none of them will be heard
none would come out as a word

I stare blankly at this paper
not knowing what to write to you
But I have a lot to say; hidden feelings,
unsaid words, and a longing

You took a part of my puzzle,
a puzzle that I have yet to complete
Now, my puzzle will always have a hole,
always have that one missing piece

You are my first thought in the day
and the last that leaves my mind at night
I gave you power, I gave my heart away
I loved you with all my heart, you didn’t stay

I am cold, frozen, and heartless
with death, no longer a heavy fear
with death, as a friend I want to meet
to end this pain I’ll forever feel

You came back, back to my crushed soul
“Do I deserve this?” I ask, you said no.
Out of fear, out of pain, I walked far, far away
“I love you.” you whispered, but silence
— silence was all I heard
