I Will Never Say I Love You Again

I thought I had found you,

And then just as quickly I lost you,

Ugh, this damn radio silence,

Is eating at my soul.

What did I say? What did I do?

Or is it you? Is it your raging melancholy,

Silencing you, holding you back,

Eating at your soul.

I’ve felt it before,

That pain, that stinging rejection,

Of not really knowing,

What I did, how I have hurt you.

My heart is breaking, a bit more every minute,

Inside me, I’m dying,

For a ping, a call, a notification,

Just one, only one sign from you.

Is it all in my head?

Am I way too impatient?

You say you needed time,

Did I rush you, did I push you?

Talk to me, complain, explain,

Tell me that I am wrong,

Tell me that the love I planted,

Is still growing, glowing inside you,

That you are thinking,

That you are sad,

That you feel guilty,

Tell me that you are okay or not okay,

Tell me anything, tell me everything,

Don’t leave unspoken words at the front door,

Or lock yourself in a prison cell of silence,

Don’t ghost me, block me, ignore me.

Pick up your phone, your voice,

Tell me how you are,

I will listen, I will care,

And I will never stress you out again,

I will keep my tender words in my head,

I will put my sensitive feelings in a box,

Bury the key in the deepest corner of the earth,

And I will never say “I love you” again.
