You look into her eyes
She looks back into yours
You two read the minds of each other
Know the words at the edge of each other’s tongues that want to escape
Know how each other’s heart is beating
Know how each other’s heart is bleeding
Can see the cuts but can’t heal them
In the end, you both remain silent walking past each other
Feet leaving tracks of blood
Rushing to hide and embrace ourselves
Swallowing the tears trying to palliate the fire blazing within

The sadness of an old love silently passing by like a stranger. Well expressed Arvy
Thank you sm Simon!
Well done. Starts out like a love poem, but turns into something so much more. Still a love poem, but a hard-nosed, honest, painful, grown-up gritty love poem. One moment hearts are beating, next thing you know they are bleeding. Sigh...
That's the thing about love, it starts like the magical thing that takes your breath away, but then ends breaking your heart and leaving you helpless. Thank you for reading dear poet!
Intense, intense love, intensely painful when left unspoken
A superb write.
Thank you, SureshG!
