There you stood and I ran with my arms open in an embrace.
Your eyes looked beyond me, not a smile on your face.
So foolishly I hugged you but your emotions were misplaced.
I asked you, " Why?"
You pretended to be shy.
"Just tired, I guess."
You said
I moved back and forced a smile.
And there we stood in silence for awhile.
Waiting
So what we had was crushed and broken.
The unanswered questions hung over us unspoken.
"Well, see you then." I turned to go.
"Yeah, ok." You moved away slow.
And the love between us was shattered.
Busted, bruised, injured and battered
Not a fight, or argument
Not even an unkind word
Just a deafening silence that sliced like a sword
Bleeding
And you will never know how you killed me.
120% of my love tossed freely.
Empty
Just empty
