Hush

Are all farewells really goodbyes?

There is no longer a need

to say what I want

The voices they now only cry

You can’t be the one

Looking at the white walls

Emptiness envelopes me

Just like those blank walls

My insides feel empty 

The urge to hold you

the need to tell you all

I bury them deep inside

for this time, I cannot fall 

There is too much to lose

This is but a dead end

If my heart breaks again

I don’t think it can mend 

I try to block all these thoughts

I need to get rid of you

But the heart shows no mercy

It can’t shut off the feelings of blue 

Be gone, you, I tell myself

I need you no longer

But absence they say

Makes the heart grow fonder.
