Another

Another

I wish that I could talk to you

Yet I don't know what to say

Think that I should leave it?

Would it be best that way?

You sing plenty of songs

But I don't know how you feel

They speak of truths but are they yours?

Or others, I can't tell

You ate your cake and still have one

As poets are wont to do

You sing of broken hearts

Yet break other people's too.

Either way, this isn't healthy

And both of us need mending 

But seeing as I'm scared of parting

I'll leave you with this open ending
