It's Quiet Now

It is amazing how time flew by pretty quick,
It was just yesterday we were still holding hands.
The thought of not having you by my side is unbearable,
Watching you hold hands with someone else.

Not even two months ago you were the one who told me
That what we had you would never have wanted it to die.
Yet I stood back and watched you kill it in front of me.
With not a single ounce of mercy in your cold heart.

For many nights I would cry out unto a God seeking answers
To why in the world would have you done such a thing.
The mere thought of everything having meant nothing,
Did that not ever go through your mind at all?

I would much rather be far away from your presence
Than to put on a false smile on my face everyday.
Yet running away will never solve a single problem,
No matter how hard the equation is going to be.

It is going to take more than just time to let this heal,
I cannot find an ounce of strength to even look at you.
In my dreams I still see you speaking to me with soft words.
Only to find myself in the same position you left me, alone.

Why did I ever lay my eyes on that one beautiful rose.
The one that stood out with such a breathtaking aroma.
Your razor sharp thorns is what cut my heart open.
When it all started with a simple forced smile.

For so long have I been the fool to fall for such a thing.
A thing that would only leave a mark deep in my heart.
One that cannot be swept up as easily as the dust by a broom.
Neither will there be anything to fill the empty space.

Even before love kicked in we both had a lifelong promise,
To remain the best of friends through everything we faced.
"Hasta la muerte" was the motto we chose to go by,
It all came down to a simple translation "Until death".

The only sound present now is the sound of absolute silence,
The very same sound that I once feared to hear, prevailed.
I just truly hope that we can finally break words someday.
If not in this life, then may it be in the afterlife.
