Breakup Poem

--

Should we speak or just keep silent?
Should the unspoken words be said?
Should the blissfulness remain?
Should we simply stay the same?

To talk would be to enter
The awfulness of faith.
To linger ‘round the feelings
That we said we wouldn’t get.-

“I love you” isn’t right,
Those words did not prevail.
“Te quiero” may be soft,
But it might not be enough.

The innocence of our behavior
Made everything less cruel.
It never seemed that forced,
Though it might have just been you.

To remain would be a gamble,
It’s a bet against ourselves.
Expectations of the future,
Of those days we won’t forget.
