Words I never spoke to you crumble in my mouth, Forgotten flames destined to burn out Or burn the life around it
I let my affections die inside me For I don't think you would understand The weight it holds, no I don't think you would be so gentle with my heart, Cracking like eggshells beneath your careless grip
No, I can't bear to watch you break me So I blink and smile warmly, Swallowing my heart and hoping you don't notice.
Is it considered unrequited love if it was always unspoken?
