I heard you.
August 9, 2011
I heard your voice in the distance,
but no amount of pleads could have
made me turn around.
I heard you call out my name,
just in time for that first tear
to fall upon my cheek.
I heard you in the distance,
but I would have never let
you see.
I heard you say you're sorry,
but it only caused me more
pain.
I heard my heart beating,
just for you.
I heard my mind screaming,
screaming to turn around.
There was nothing I could do,
but keep on moving forward.
I heard you..
and I wish I hadn't.
