We don't talk anymore.

It's not because I didn't try,

It's not because you didn't care.

We don't talk

because it was too much.

The words stopped fitting,

became not enough.

We don't talk anymore

because we grew up and apart.

We found different places,

new experiences, a fresh start.

Let's be honest now.

We don't talk

because I loved you

We don't talk

because you have a girlfriend.

We don't talk

because you are noble.

We don't talk anymore.

We don't talk anymore....

We argue, full of malice and spite

Intentionally injuring with insults

The meanest things we can think of.

Who yells loudest -

Who gets meanest -

That's who wins.

We don't talk anymore....

We ignore everything important.

We'll talk about weather and work

But not what we're worried about

And not about our hopes and dreams

Not about what scares us

Certainly not what happened between us

That made us quit sharing those things.

We don't talk anymore....

We fight and we fuck and we coexist...

We're both here,

I'm terribly lonely. Are you?

I miss you.

We don't talk anymore.

I see you walk by my office every morning. Nothing.

Another late night comes. Again, you slip into my office. Our lips quickly meet. Your hand listens to my heart. 

I am still haunted by our last conversation.

"I love you!"

"Then promise me..."

"Anything..."

Her smile twisted in joy and I regret my carte blanche reply.

"Promise me that we will never speak again. I never want to hear those words reversed; this to end."

We love. We lust. But we do not talk anymore, and I find I miss your voice more each day.

We don't talk anymore.

We used to all the time, chattering on about this or that.

But then you all came, and we faded into what we are.

We are the darkness that used to talk.

We are the shadows upon the sidewalk.

We follow you around because we think you are interesting.

But deep inside you've hurt us.

You, humans, and your blinding light have caused us to become shadows.

We don't talk anymore.

Because though there are many things to say, we think you need to find them out yourselves.

We don't talk anymore.

It's a personal choice.

We don't talk anymore

You used to be so

prevalent in my mind

We used to talk for hours

days at a time

Now you've left me 

in silence

At first

it was exciting

No more did I have to hide

the little voice in my head

It seemed like the start 

of a new, happy life. 

But now months later

I miss my friend

The one that used to talk me up

to the ledge to see if I'd jump.

I haven't seen the bottom of a cliff

since you left

And I find

my heart never races anymore.
