I wish you knew exactly what I meant

My words fail, my heart breaks

Rambling thoughts to fill a book

I can't muster a word

You look on, silent

The world, silent

My love, silent

So you silently turned away

Heels making delicate taps on the ground

Each step composing thousands of lines

Until I have an epic

An epic of tears on the pavement

And misunderstanding

And deafening silence
