Not Brave Enough

I want to cry 
retreat into that lonely place
I'm reminded of 
when I lose again.
I want explanations
an accounting of the truth
but maybe him saying nothing 
resonates the loudest.
He would often send me music
expressions he calls them
and they'd speak for him
share his insides 
with another's lyrics.
But this song is quiet, so quiet
I can hear my heart ripping in two 
feel the pink draining from my cheeks
see the light dimming in my eyes.
I'll go to sleep tonight
wondering what he would've said
had he been a brave enough man.
