The solution you pose is only temporary; A bandaid over a bullet wound. You can cover signs of pain, But the bullet won’t heal. I sat patiently all my life Took the ******** Fell in line Just to avoid the unavoidable conflict And criticisms of your delight. You tossed me a core, Which I humbly ate from The crumbs of your conquest. I ate and I never complained Because it was your company I enjoyed. I never want to be alone. The solace I find in your presence. The joy that is in our mutual struggle. That’s what I loved most. We were the mutual crutch that led us one step closer to hope. But Silence ruined us. If only we thought to speak truths that remained unknown. “Speak now or forever hold your peace” I never held my peace, I just ignored it.

Thanks for nothing.
