Silent Tears

A frantic, fearful lover. 
One who grows distant only to 
grow closer.. Not much attracts 
me and nothing clings me, for I 
do not open enough to feel 
what is real, so no matter what 
it will always feel veneer..
 I will only expect the worst 
and never believe a word you 
say.. You never meant it, so I 
don't expect you to stay. 
If there's no expectations 
there's no risk, it's nothing but 
a prolonged fling, you don't 
love me, I'm not that good to 
be loved, she's better you run 
to her. I don't know affection I 
don't understand that it doesn't 
channel correctly from my mind 
to my heart.. But my stare, my 
step backward, my cold shutter 
brought on by your affection, 
that strange at random sadness 
.. Attitude ignoring of your 
texts, phone calls.. That's my 
love at it's finest at its peak, at 
your drifting away your falling 
into the arms of another girls 
laugh her smile her jokes and 
humor, that's crumbling of the 
wall and the rebirth to a 
fortress twice as cold twice as 
distant twice as un-affectionate 
.. The loss of love births a new 
girl not a bitter one.. 
but just a different one.. 
An  unforgiving one.. afraid to 
move forward but to 
abandoned to walk in the 
opposite direction.. 
So she's left standing, still, 
head down arms to the side.. 
Silent tears, transparent 
outstretched hands, slow 
beating heart.. 
Empty eyes
