Freely

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
