Unrequited

By Silver

I wish you could see

How much I love you

But you'll never know

You'll never find out

I'll keep it to myself

I'm afraid that if I tell you

That you would no longer

Talk to me at all

I fear the rejection

The pain all over again

I know if I lose you too

I'll break inside

Into a thousand pieces

Not that you would know

My grip would slip

I know you'd still hold on

You're strong, not weak

Like me, so pathetic

I'm not even worth your time

You shouldn't talk to me

I'm not good for you

You have no idea

How much blame is on my shoulders

It's my fault for almost everything

I should've just left it be

Never have told you

And your pleads fall on deaf ears

I will no longer stay

In a place that I have none

But don't morn or cry

Don't say false words

To make me stay

Or force yourself…

I'd rather have my heartbreak

A thousand times over

Than for you to be in misery

I would rather see you happy

And be in pain than see it switched

So go, be happy, I'll stay here

I'll go nowhere and stay in pain

I'll be in sorrow and misery

And maybe I'll finally end it

I don't need to stay anymore

And as much as this will hurt us both

I still want to say it

At least one time

"I love you"

Too bad nothing can change that

Not harsh words, cursing, nothing

And I think out of all the people

You would understand

How much one-sided love hurts

So this is my final farewell

To you

"Good-bye"
