do you ever hear
someone call your name
when they need you
but when you call their name
when you need them
you get only silence
you contact them
until they block you
you speak to them
until they say something
then you stop
you fill your part of the conversation
with silence
silence
silence
silence
one day
while your silent
someone asks you to speak
so you do
then you stop
because you get interrupted
spoken over
ignored
told to shush
so you go back
to the silence
the cycle repeats itself
until you die
