a simple stream of words that mean so much to me but nothing to anyone else, that started pouring out of my head like blood from a bullet wound

all i heard was the sound
when you fell to the ground with a thud
you had the whole world
but I guess that could never be enough
i didn't want to intrude
besides, i already knew what I would find
just walked away, the engine not even cold
steaming in the snow,
the day turning old, my eyes turning blind
your choice was made long before I
your bed was made by your own
shaking hands
I didn't hear the sigh
or any of the lies you may have told
I didn't shed a tear
and I didn't say goodbye
because i knew you wouldn't hear
a single fucking word





all I heard was a thud
I didn't stay for the rest
all I heard was the end
I didn't stay for the rest
I didn't hear you cry, I didn't
hear you whisper
my name
I didn't hear you
I didn't
stay for the rest.


you didn't hear me leave
how could you?
you didn't hear my whisper
my last words to you
you didn't see me struggle to breath
or the tear leave my eye
as i begged you
to
forgive her
