These words simply go unheard

Ink glides the surface of my bedside notebook
as I anxiously scribble in the dark
Each word turns mute once it hits the paper
Screaming for another way out

I'm just a writer
looking for a way
to express these thoughts
I don't know how to say

And you're right in front of me
I'm at a loss of words
I trace "I love you" in the air
But I don't think you heard

This voice becomes muted
on a silent sheet of paper

My thoughts are screaming
Let me be heard
Yet they're muffled by my frightened heart
Beating at a flightier speed
My pulse is becoming too quick to read

A steady line goes across the screen
As I watch you walk away from me
Thinking nothing more
than what you did before
