I smile so fakely, I wonder if anyone can tell the tears that are about to well…

Every little thing you said
Or at least tried to say
Was said in a way
That I couldn’t understand

There was no emotion
How was I supposed to tell
If you were sad, happy, mad, glad, or joking around?

I tried to tell you these things
But the words would never come out
I didn’t want to sound mean
So it only comes down to one thing

Since the beginning I liked you
The liking began to fade…
As I figured out who you were
Now it’s not too late
I’ll let you go, and never look back

    Sounds as though you made the right choice with this guy. He’s not worthy of you, Alexa…moving right along…
    Very well written. You expressed your pain and disappointent in each sentence.

    Though this would be harsh for me to hear, I respect what is being said and how it’s being said. It is direct and so very clear and to the point. Very well expressed. Michael
