a hopeless romantic's heartbreak | poems

The silence between us

As I watch the teardrops stream down my face,
I wonder if it's really worth it to stay
because it seems as if everybody I love is slowly fading away.

I don't think I deserve the past I was given,
but there's still a lot unsaid and unforgiven.

Once you left me,
I started noticing everything else drifting.

I wish I could just run away.
I wish I could just drive miles and miles on the highway.

I want to run from the hurt,
run from whatever wants to haunt me on this earth.

And it kills me not to talk to you,
but I have enough common sense not to.

If I was dumb enough I'd tell you I feel,
but a happy ending is too good to be real.

But maybe one day I'll find happiness in another place.
A place where you've left no trace.
