can't explain, won't

 
i can't 
look at you
anymore
with any sort of fondness

i can't 
believe in you
anymore
with any bit of conviction

please don't
ask me
over and over
why it has to happen

please don't
hurt me
over and over
why is it hard to understand?

i'm tired 
of not knowing
where i stand 
in your world

i'm tired
of not saying
what i mean
to your face

i'm tired
of always lying
when was i ever
going to breathe free?

take two
small steps
backward from me

turn around 
peacefully
and walk away

you're not 
getting any more
explanations

you're not 
getting any more
closure 

you're getting
a silent
no
from my lips

and a cool breeze
to carry you 
on your way
home
