You know we can't talk because we wont want to say goodbye Poem, by lauraoverxo, at My poetic side

I guess love doesn't work when it's out of control

Holding on too tightly made you let go

If I hear your name, I suffocate, I wish you'd come home

Hanging onto your legs

Hoping you'd never forget

Clinging onto what we had left

I guess I'll never get to tell you, you were my everything and not neglect you

Said you wouldn't leave as the rest do

But I'm glad you didn't turn around

like water under the bridge, i rescued myself

rose-colored blind and choking on the mist,

your love choked me till I drowned when I'd tell you to 'get a grip'

when we were both hiding from the flames in the midst of it.

We burned out

Now liquor tastes like the sour end of a letter I'll never send and you'll never get

Convincing myself the silence is bliss

It's the way you'd make me scream and shout that I miss

I hope you think of us when it's someone else you kiss.
