No return

No Return

Walking away from someone

that you love is the one of

the hardest things to do,

but staying with that person

is even harder when they do

not feel the same about you.

Because a heart that has

been broken will always take

time to heal as it will take

even longer yet for your

damaged soul to really begin

to feel while making

excuses to yourself for all

of their hurtful lies looking

past all the wrongs they do

to you so you just close your

eyes, at night you will cry

and lay in your bed all alone

while waiting for a phone call

that you know will never come

while staring all night

long at a silent phone.

So you scream out in silence

as tears begin to flow as you

pray to your God to please

let you go, you feel so stupid

and you hide the hurt and all

the pain, while deep down

inside you go silently insane

a love that is given freely

with nothing in return shows

you were nothing at all to

them, not even their concern.

It hurts like hell to walk away

but they will never

understand that a life with

no love is no life at all, so you

have to make a stand!
