i have kept the words i cannot say to you <br />because i know in doing so you will <br />die, <br /> <br />how can i say them? how can i say them now? <br />i am lost, <br />they are throwing stones at me <br />on the roads that i take <br />i want to break this silence <br />i want to speak <br /> <br />but you are always beside me <br />your hands, you think you are embracing me, <br />i am chokind, i cannot breathe <br />your love has been much <br />beyond what i can take <br /> <br />how can i ever tell you <br />the word <br />goodbye, the words, i have changed, the sentence <br /> <br />i am going away, this place is not for me, my heart has no home, <br />i am heartless, i am empty, i am shattered, i am loved but i cannot love <br />i am dead.<br /><br />RIC S.
