Unspoken

By: Kayla Meyers

Staring after you as you leave again
I bid the words to come but I never speak
I call after you, scream inside my head
Broken promises that will never be said
Like I want you, I need you

Tie a noose of silence around my neck
Momentary release from the pain
Of all the lies I've told myself
To make it through the grayness of the night
'Cause you're the colors of my world
All that brings my soul to life
And I won't lie

So close to you in these million yards of space
I reach out to you, but you're so far away
Phantom fears surround my heart, choking off my breath
So I can't even say
I covet you, I desire you

Why can't you talk to me
Don't you think I know, I'd understand
Imperfections are what is beautiful
No pretty words, not a fantasy
All I want is what's real
And while I know this, I will never say
That I dream of you, I love you
