Unspoken
I never asked,
You never said,
I never knew,
The thoughts in your head,
The tears you cried,
They were your own,
The road you chose,
You walked it alone,
I never asked,
You never spoke,
Just brushed it off,
And made it a joke,
Nobody saw,
That you’d been caught,
Hadn’t a clue,
The demons you fought,
I never asked,
You never told,
You were so brave,
So proud and so bold,
I watched in awe,
You were so strong,
How could I know,
That I had judged wrong?
I never asked,
You never said,
I never knew,
Just how much you bled,
Quietly spiraling,
Out of control,
Falling into,
A dark night of the soul,
I never asked,
You never told,
Your inner pain,
Was too much to hold,
Your cool facade,
Started to break,
Under the weight,
Of too much to take,
I never asked,
I wish I had,
Then this regret,
Would not sting so bad,
I hope you’re free,
Hope you’ve found peace,
I hope that you,
Have found your release,
I never asked,
Now never will,
Left with a hole,
That I just can’t fill,
Miss you so much,
Too much to say,
I feel so lost,
Now you’ve gone away.
