That Night

The night i told you,
i was leaving,
all i could see
in those brown eyes
was flames of anger and pain.

when i told you this
my heart broke into pieces
even smaller than you could imagine.
the pain i felt was unbelievable.
so unbelievable how could i forget this night?

scared to truly tell you how i felt,
all i could do was cry and look
into those big brown eyes.
scared you were going to yell
not in anger but in hurt.

what was i to do at this time?
i didn't know how you felt.
was it confusion,love,anger,hate or nothing at all?
i didn't want to leave without knowing how you truly and deeply felt about me.

nothing was said
so i told you that i loved you
and turned and walked away.
with my eyes filled with tears and hurt.
what was i to do?
so you tell me and i will then know.
