I was afraid to let you in.
You had no clue of what I hid.
Perhaps you fell for the idea of love
But I couldn't be the person you fancied.
And when I let you see who I truly was
You spat out your words like acid.
...
"I don't know you anymore."
You never really did.
To the friend who expected more than I could give.

The poem looks like a jar with the title. :D
The problem with us is that we all wish to be equal
As if saying that we are all human and a human we shall stay
But in reality, we all have different roles
Portraying a certain character
We need to consider one another and seek for justice and understanding instead of equality
I always loved feeling your hug
Your sweet kisses upon my lips
The way you hold my hips
As we danced all night long
To our most favorite song

But as we go on
Your hugs felt like my skin was being pricked
Your kisses stung on my fragile lips
That once secure hold now felt like a very tight grip
Our once favorite melody turned into a horrible symphony

I wonder where all the sweetness and softness went
*Cause all I remember now is this huge scar upon my heart
I heard silence...

In the seconds before I started
In the spaces between my heartbeats
In the breaths I held 'til words were said
I heard silence before secrets were revealed

I hear silence...

In the aftermath of a loud fight
In the emptiness filling my heart
In the vacant space they are leaving behind
I hear silence while I'm falling apart

I'll hear silence...

In the dark as I decide I'm done
In the calm caused by feeling nothing
In the air when my last breath is gone
I'll hear silence after I'm finished living

I was silent** before they thought to listen
I am silent while I decide to just surrender
I'll be silent after I'm forgotten
I'll stay silent 'til I'm the dust making stars flicker

Your nickname for me would sound wrong from another's lips.
