you say your cold
yet I lie here next to you
you say you’re happy
even as tears run down your face
you whisper sweet sayings
but in a foreign language I don’t recognize
you giggle at my jokes
yet you shout at me through those eyes
you’ve held my hand
but only with those black velvet gloves
you’ve uttered your dreams
though I’m never a part of them
you tell me lies
but somehow they are the truth
you have let go
however there’s a string attached
you’ve done your part
but there are puzzle pieces missing
you have spoken your peace
yet inside you’re screaming with hate
it’s come to this now
a silent war
no words
no actions
just a silent goodbye
