You Said It

My heart feels as though it would crumble,

There is a dull ache in my head,

Each word seems a stain on silence,

And my whole being feels heavy as lead;

I told him in pain and anguish

Yet, ‘You Said It’ was all he said.

The world as I knew it is passing,

The change is too much to bear,

Values no longer matter,

And no one seems to care;

Do you feel the same, I questioned

But, ‘You Said It’ was all he said.

My joy seems to last for a moment,

I often lie thinking in bed,

The songs I loved; I hum no longer,

My tears lie buried, unshed;

I am sure you understand, I ventured

And, ‘You Said It’ was all he said.

‘Are you dead?’ I asked him in anger,

You seem unmoved, by all I have said,

You are an observer, unconcerned,

Just watching the world go by instead;

Without a blink he turned to me and whispered

‘How can I? I am the thought in your head!’
