a most profound quiet

every word leads to a fight
even "i love you" is a path
to anger and dismay.
i try and try to deal with it
all because i need you
forever in my life.
no matter how lost i feel
your smile brings me back
but you've lost the faith
you had in me.
i dont know how, i dont know when
all i can ask is why?
but i muster up every ounce
of strength in my body
and utter the words "goodbye"
love shouldnt hurt, but this
has been killing me.
i have nothing left
nothing to give or to want
but as i lie down to sleep
that very first night
i witness such a profound quiet
and wonder if this is what is right
have i been mistaken?
was this meant to be?
