Forgotten Words

In your mind it all made sense.

Within your heart, you knew it all.

You left me hanging on a fence.

You thought letting me go would stop the fall.

You made up your mind about how I felt.

Then did what you thought would help.

Left alone, my hopes did melt.

And those melted hopes silenced my yelps.

You drove me crazy wondering why.

I became utterly lost in this unending maze.

I now feel ashamed of all the tears I cried.

I am trapped in this rejected daze.

And still, I hold no blame on you.

I know you didn't mean to hurt me this way.

You did what you thought you had to do.

There are so many words we need to say.

I wish I had the courage to come straight to you.

This silence has such a heavy cost.

Perhaps I am silly for writing this poem full of hidden clues.

But when the time comes around my words are lost.
