When the silence is so loud you want to scream to drown it out
When the pain cuts so deep you want to punch and hurt to soothe the pain
When goodbye hurts so much you want to beg him to stay
When the tears threaten so hard you want to let them fall
But you can’t
and you know you won’t
So you sit there
With a small smile plastered on your face
You know he won’t be back
He says he will
But he won’t
He’ll just leave you
Like the last one
And the one before
So that’s why you won’t scream
You won’t hurt
You won’t beg
Because if you did
Your throat would be raw
You’d bleed out
Your voice would be hoarse
Your tears would be dried up
Because they didn’t listen
Because they don’t listen
Because he won’t listen
