My voice
fell
on your deaf ears.
No words uttered
from your mouth.
I stared
at you, drinking
in your beauty, wounded,
as you sat,
your eyes off in the distance
Did you hear me?
No response
Silence
crept into the room,
into my space,
suffocating me
Tears
How could I
love
someone like you?
I am but only a shadow
of who I once was
And
I remember exactly
where we were
I remember.
Every scar
on my heart tells its own tale,
of you
every wound,
inflicted on my soul writes its own poem,
of you
And that is how those years passed,
Silently, drifting
into the
nothingness
of me
