The words unspoken

All the words unspoken,

All the “could have beens”

Were just a form of make-believe.

If only I could see,

What really was, in front of me.

I felt it, I knew it,

I just couldn’t find the words.

Like a flame that was extinguished,

A hope that was found and lost.

You were the sun to my moon,

That stopped shining,

Forever eclipsed.
