Nothing Left

What do you do
When there's nothing left to say.
All words have been spoken,
And your thoughts have gone astray.

Listening to the quietness
And the sounds it brings.
Feeling the tears swell
And then start to sting.

You know what needs to be said
But you don't know how to say it,
You just know without them your heart would be dead.

You pray things change
That they go back to the way they used to be
And stop feeling so distant and strange.

You think you'd rather they lie
Then to leave you
And you think "Please just give it one last try".

But the words never find you
And as the days pass by,
You walk past each other
Without even a sigh.
