Omission of a Guilty Conscious

the words are said, they can't be taken back

things once so great, now deemed trivial

not by your words, but by mere omission

you've moved on, and maybe for the best

teach me a lesson, about where to place my heart

don't give it away so flagrantly

don't wear it on your sleeve

such a fragile thing, so easily bruised

by words spoken or not

a deed so selfless, done for another's behest

forgotten like last weeks meal

I gave my all, and got so much

but only to be left by the wayside once again

holding onto outdated feelings, and attachments

the failings of my battered heart

still searching for the one thing I can't find
