Finishing Thoughts

No longer do you ask to be excused.
You just leave.
You don't speak of you and me.
The excuses were here before you were.
You don't look at me like you used to.

I need to ask you to let me be.
I need time.
You still hurt here inside.
No one can live with such venom.

You should recognize by now when you have begun to break a heart.
You do is so well.

I hope that you still hope for hope.
But patience has gone to my feet.
I flood myself in unconcious gestures,
painting on my smile. looking without seeing.
Waiting for your absence.

No one can live such a life.
The hope your love gave me I never felt before.
No one can die from this venom,
only slowly go mad.

I need you to just leave,
and please let me be.
You still hurt inside me where you dwell.
You should stop breaking hearts.
