My Heart Left Too

If I had asked would you have stayed? The long silences between us pushing each away seemed too deafening to dare. The resentment boiled as the didstance grew, and yet I didn't want to lose you. My heart, it ached days in and out, wishing you would save us. I should've kissed you. I should have taken charge. I should have fought and fought and fought for you. Instead I sat down, grief striken, and in pain waiting for the day when you would go away. The days and months ticked on and hope remained, a hope I knew was in vain. Then came the day you walked out the door and with you my heart left too.
