you say your cold <br />yet I lie here next to you <br /> <br />you say you’re happy <br />even as tears run down your face <br /> <br />you whisper sweet sayings <br />but in a foreign language I don’t recognize <br /> <br />you giggle at my jokes <br />yet you shout at me through those eyes <br /> <br />you’ve held my hand <br />but only with those black velvet gloves <br /> <br />you’ve uttered your dreams <br />though I’m never a part of them <br /> <br />you tell me lies <br />but somehow they are the truth <br /> <br />you have let go <br />however there’s a string attached <br /> <br />you’ve done your part <br />but there are puzzle pieces missing <br /> <br />you have spoken your peace <br />yet inside you’re screaming with hate <br /> <br />it’s come to this now <br />a silent war <br />no words <br />no actions <br /> <br />just a silent goodbye<br /><br />Gary Scott Gebert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-silent-goodbye/
