Those Simple Words

*Plz rate or comment. much appreciated thx*

An awkward silence...
...But what should I say?
Should I tell you how you broke my heart
Ruined my life, the rest of my day?

Seconds tick by and the silence ends
You tell me you have to go
We quickly say goodbye, you hang up first
Leaving me to stare at the phone

I feel like smashing it into pieces
So I won't ever hear it ring again
Instead, I drop it onto the ground
And start to think about you, my friend

Just three words, that's all it took
I tremble and make a fist
Now as I start to cry over you
My tears are red and fall from my wrist

The pain I try to hold in
Because of words I should have said
It's too overwhelming
Like the surrounding drops of red

I wish I could make you listen
Change the things you feel
But I can't, I'd hurt my best friend
So I'll just keep my lips sealed

It hurts that you don't love me anymore
That I'm not your number one girl
What damage three words have done
Today you told me, "I love her"
