WHAT I DID NOT SAY

All those things I did not say
Before you went away
Haunt me now when you are gone
Leaving me forlorn
Longing for just one more touch
I need it so much
Knowing that what I had was a boon
Not to be repeated soon

Yet when you were near
I couldn't look beyond my fear
That the bottomless pain
Would visit me again
If I did not push you away
Those demons would stay
The ones that trampled my heart
And tore me apart
When she went away
Without hearing what I had to say.
