Silence is All That’s Left

Life was great.

We were happy.

Staying on the phone

all night.

Things got bumpy.

You changed towards me.

Staying on the phone for a

few hours.

You suddenly had

many

more excuses for 

your own

actions.

I was

alone.

You were

never

there.

Staying on the phone for

an hour.

You started having

trouble

when it came to treating me as a priority

above other girls.

I was struggling.

Struggling to

trust

your words. 

Staying on the phone for a

few minutes.

Then you broke it off,

and the 

truth

came into clear view.

You broke a lot of

important

promises.

I seemed to be the

only

one who cared.

Who was hurt.

Staying on the phone,

listening to the silence

by myself.

I will 

always

be here.
