My heart is broken

And very scared,

My love is silent

As if you didn’t care.

Tears fall unsaid

Along with words unspoken,

You try to speak

But your love for me is broken.

When you love somebody

They don’t want to know,

They just don’t understand

That you don’t want to let them go.

They know you love them

They act like your not there,

They make you out to be the bad one

Though your the one who cares.
