Strangers

I’m sitting here wondering why I’m so hurt
I’m sitting here questioning my own worth
You seem to be okay, which makes me confused
What have I done, what is it that can’t be refused?
This silence is deafening, It has me drowning
Your empty mouth with words all surrounding
The pain that you multiplied when you left
The secrets you told, were never unkept
Then one day you and I became so distant
I tried to reach out, without any resistance
You’re someone important, whom I’ve lost
The tale of our bond had too much at cost
The truth you kept hidden had left me paralyzed
Seeing the light only to be brutally terrorized
You broke my heart and left me isolated
Filling the rest of my heart with hatred
You judged me when you didn’t know how I felt
Now that the tables have turned, what kind of hand were you dealt?
While becoming distant you made me feel betrayed
Hiding your feelings, your emotions became delayed
I still love you but I’m sorry I had to walk away
So please don’t ask me to stop and stay
Your running mouth has become a growing pain
You see you messed up and now its a strain
Just remember it was you who failed with communication
Just remember it was you who started the confrontation
Now I’m sitting here stuck in my mind with solidation
Your secrets grew upon me, causing me frustration
I’m telling you this only once and never again
You had me at the very beginning, when you said Hello
And as this story goes, you lost me by disappearing without saying Goodbye.
