It Was Better Left Unspoken
She left. Just like that. Without a letter. Without a note. No phone number, no address.
I tried to stop her. But she wouldn't listen. She got onto that airplane, tears around her eyes.
She said she had to do this. She said she'd come back.
Well she lied.
It's been 7 years. I still hear her sobs. Our fights, I didn't mean to cause.
I should've seen it coming. It was right in front of me.
Now she's gone, gone like the wind.
I still wait here, waiting for her call. Her e-mail. Her letter. But nothing.
I wait here, in this chair. I come back from work, hoping to see her big brown eyes. I am let down when all that is there is my placemat that says Come Back.
I should have seen it her tears. I should have held her close, treasure her with my life.
But instead, I yelled at her. I scolded her. I told her to back off.
I still remember that happy day. The day we got married, the day we were officially together.
The happiest day of my life. But now it's gone. I still wait here, hoping to receive just one thing from you.
I am let down. Hopes crushed, spirits blow away. I yell at my boss. Jobs come and go. I yell, blaming everything on them.
But now I know, I'm the one to blame. I sit here, waiting for you.
Now tell me, where are you?
One day, I receive a package. I open it excitedly, hoping it's from you.
It is! It has my CD, the one I made for you. A letter with it.
I'm sorry.
But I can not return.
Not to the heartbreak I once had.
Good-Bye Duncan.
And good-luck.
I'll love you forever. But I will no longer hurt myself trying to get your love, too.
-Courtney
In it, was a small wooden skull. I cried, I yelled. Knowing this is all my fault.
Well, you were wrong. You never needed to try to get my love, because you always had it.
I love you, now and forever, my Princess. And I hope one day, you will love me back once again.
