Unspoken words
Hang like phantoms in the thick silence
That fills the room whenever
I grudgingly share the room with you.
Spoken words
That dare escape your lips
Are hollow, meaningless, and unimportant
To my mind,
Overshadowed by everything you did
Or didn’t do in the years gone by.
Memories from the past,
From when I was kid,
From when you showed love, affection, emotion
Flood my mind with their sweet nothingness
And hinder my speech.
Words filled with hate, anger, and frustration
Spill from my lips uncontrollably.
As your voice raises and your eyes bulge from their sockets,
I stare at an object that isn’t your face
Because your face causes too much pain.
Even as tears sting my eyes,
I look away,
Keeping the stoic face that you always seem to wear.
Unspoken words, spoken words, memories from the past,
Words filled with hate, anger, and frustration
Overpower me
And I walk...
Walk away from you.
From what we didn’t have.
From what we could’ve had.
From what we should’ve had.
Had you not been who you are,
Had I not been who I am...
And I walk away.
In the back of my mind you persist
But never overtaking me
Unlike the few good memories
You gave to me.
