Out Of Love Poem by emily summers

We sit in silence,
I can hear your heart beat racing faster,
we don't know what to say,
we don't want to realise that there is nothing more to be done,
that there isn't any point in making excuses,
we know that the unspoken words are hurting us the most, stabbing like knives in our hearts over and over.

I sit on the sofa,
and our eyes meet,
I break into cold sweat,
and I get on my feet,
I need to retreat,
retire from the pain,
the pain you make me feel,
everytime i look into your sapphire eyes,
your smouldering eyes,
i see deception, lies, and everything i don't want.

I don't even want to cry,
I have been ripped of my emotions,
left senseless.

The truth hurts,
but uncovering lies pains me even more,
why did you not just tell me?
Tell me you no longer loved me,
set me free,
into the world at ease,

Instead I feel so empty,
so unloved,
so hurt,
I have never felt worse,
sleepless nights,
I wake in frights,

why didn't you just say?
Say your love for me had gone away...
