now walk out that door without sparing me one final gaze for these hands that failed to read the clues you left unsaid I was never found in your haze you kept singing songs with your own muse expecting me to listen when I could not read the notes like you do you laid your pages before me but never sang this melody with me give me your pencil while my fingers are still learning to hold give me your portrait while I’m still learning the shades you look into my eyes with countless emotions while I only know how to whisper those eight letters to you you stand at the edge of where I long to reach and I remain here learning how to be brave these waves come rushing through and I am still a soul that trembles before you once I wished I could place a ruby inside our scenery but it will only remain a scenery for I failed to play the role you painted in your mind step away… as you already do I mourn the version of you that might return yet I know I am no longer in this story even though it cuts with every distance I let you leave with the smallest resistance for loving you was the only language I knew

The Only Language I Knew
