Words slip from my mouth in silence,
bitterness arrives on cue.
And, feelings yield as I ask them to.
It's as if I'm on a time limit,
burning in flames the entire time.
Ruining what could have been-
and what forever will be.
For, there's nothing left for us.
We're but a couple of ex's
choosing to stay friends.
With things between us,
that are yet to be settled -
at least in my mind, my soul.
I'm fighting to keep it in,
the things I want to share
. . . with you, my darling.
It's as if we're nothing now.
Just a few strangers left
about the crowded streets,
fighting to find one another,
or someone else in your case.
And, I can't seem to realize
the realization of us.
I'm wondering what it is
that keeps me holding on.
For, I still have hope
dangling inside of myself.
I'm hoping and praying for you,
to come back to me,
and return the feelings that
I somehow still feel for you.
I can't seem to stop myself,
from spontaneously combusting
at any moment because these feelings
are too much for me to handle, darling.
They're burning inside of me,
a`rising in flames that tend to
reach the clouds about the sky.
