"Better Left Unsaid"

Folder: 
For All My Exes

I miss you already.

That's all that

needs

     to be said.

But it's not all I want to say.

I want to say:

   I'm lonely.

   I miss you.

   Come back.

   Don't leave me here.

But I can't,

Because my pleas

Would fall upon deaf ears.

I would get no answer,

Only silence.



and silence is frightening.



Silence is a reminder

that you're not here,

and the silence is constant.

So I keep my thoughts

to myself,

Because if they're not spoken,

The silence can't taunt me.

And there's no

better way to defeat silence



   than remain silent.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this in one of my darker moments of life.  I wrote it right after someone I thought I loved left me alone.
