your silence

I gave you my words
But you gave me silence
A deadly silence that I couldn't break

How can you break a silence
When you have nothing left to say

I gave you my word
Even when there was no reason for me to stay

Then suddenly
You spoke
You gave me your word
Only one
But it was the one you broke

I gave you all my words
But you gave me silence
A suffocating silence I couldn't take

They say break the silence
When you can
But they never explain how to
With no one else to talk to

When we were us
You came with the scars from your past
When we were us
You already knew we weren't gonna last

You came with your scars
Made by words from someone you used to kiss
You left with a skin of stars
Made by words from someone you used to miss

I gave you more than my word
You gave me silence
A deafening silence I couldn't fake

I gave you my heart
When you left me
My heart in pieces
Was all I could see

The funny thing is

The heart you stole
Came back broken
While yours
Stayed whole
