Unspoken
A person doesn't just up and leave you.
I believe this to be very true
But it's a little piece here
A piece of the heart there
With each word left yet spoken
Love is broken
Silently swept away
Adding up each new day
The words you say
The tears she cried
As her love died
Each day a little piece has already gone
It took so long
To lose yourself one piece at a time
For no reason or rhyme
A soul broken down one day to be gone
Before you realize what you did wrong
A kind touch
That wasn't asking too much
Was all that was needed
The signs not heeded
Too late ,
It's turned to hate
You wrote this fate
With a kind word left unsaid
Love unfed
A piece here
A piece there
