Silent as your happy

The_One_That_Got_Away

To not speak and to hold you here

If only you knew what you do

Here to listen but not tell you

How I feel and only for you

Wasting away and shreds to be left 

Long time coming and I fear what's next

Hurt by past and sin it was clear

Thoughts of you I wish to disappear

So I can be there for you and hold you dear

Not close as I wished but still there 

Support none the less and she is what is clear

 

Watching waiting only finding what hurts

Shadows around corners my demons they lurk

Stunned by silence as I desert

What I hold dear today only brings me hurt

If I set you free and never tell

Swallow my consciousness forever its gone.

    I wonder often if this kind of love exists outside of literature.

    A beautiful painful poem.
