What You Could Have Said

I'm the only one you did not tell
A secret you did keep from me
Was I so unimportant
What of all the time we spent

Hand in hand, together
Connected at the hip
Gazing into each other's eyes
What was that all about

I recall early moments
The times you'd pulled away
Only to cling closer
Then flake out once more

Were you merely scheming
Playing games with me
Or were your feelings true
Yet we're afraid to admit

How many times can I count
And still give away chance
This tug of war on my heart
Had to end eventually

Were you just using me emotionally
Or was there something more
Yes, of course I love you
Did you ever love me

Words would not be spoken
At least, they weren't to me
Silent until needing
Then you would come forth

Not in the way that most do
Your not shy, no introvert
Was I just your last resort
When others would refuse

I walked away from abuse
I vowed never to look back
Still, I question what you thought of me
In all of the time we shared

You think that it was easy
That last look that I gave you
It would be the last that I would have
But I had to let you go

Wishing for a stolen kiss
The day I walked away
Not a single spoken word
You could have said...goodbye

A very emotional write Leviathus; one that strikes me to the heart. I can feel your pain and that last word, after all you shared with this person, could not have been offered to you. Sad, really, when all we want is honesty above everything else and if it's not working then a honest goodbye.

It sucks how things work out sometimes, it hurts but I always try to take
something from every situation and use it as a learning mechanism. Well
there is no doubt, you can write, b-blessed.
