Unspoken Whispers | A Poem by Kaylah Boyce

I wish I had said how much you broke my heart when you left. But now I sit alone on the bathroom floor, with a heart so heavy it could burst � like a cloud bulging with rain, it would burst sudden tears down my cheeks as if the sky itself was weeping for me.

Translucent puddles of water condensed and soaking my lap. If I could, I would somehow take it all back.
I wish I could tell you how broken you have left me. I wish I had said that you tore into my heart like the bloodhounds from hell, ripping it apart piece by piece

I wish I had asked you, how could a mother leave her children? I sit every day penning letters to you. but I never have the heart to send them. Some part of me deep down wishes I could erase everything with a time machine.

I wish I had said that you have irrevocably changed. My mind is forever replaying it like a roll of film stuck on one movie. It often plays in my mind when I try to be happy, like a broken record. My heart is a chess board and you seem to have checked it.

I sit on the putrid floor with the tears in my hands. My heart is in my throat and it won't escape. It is so constricting like a deadly vice grip, suffocating and even trapping � the words I wish I had said. The fragile words stay lodged in my throat and I start choking on them.

I futilely wish you loved me as much as your new life. I wish I could say that you had butchered me with a knife. The words are forever stuck in my windpipe I wish I had told you that I wish we were the ones you had chosen this time�
