the things i want to say have all been said before.
i've said them in so many ways and nothing helped.
so now i think of what is left to try,
how, with some genius verse, i  can still make you understand
what you already know,
and do not care.
 if i try to explain, i know i'll only make it worse,
push you away, i'll start to talk too loud
and hyperventilate. i guess
i should try to reason less.
i should be straight and to the point,
but 'i love you' has been abused
too much and its cold threat will make you run.
and yet, i do.
there is no point in saying what you wouldn't hear.
 
no point in throwing words at you when all you want
is to be left alone.
i guess i best show that i care
by letting go.
