Don't speak

If all that is to be said changes nothing,
I prefer you silent.
Don't look at me with those eyes
and hope I will understand
I don't wish to see your pain
or mine reflected in yours.

If we were once intimate, then this is the end
of our affiliation. The gap between us now
will fester and never heal.
I don't wish to feel for you,
not anymore.
So speak no more.
