Had so much to say
But words refused to obey
My tongue and its lisp
I faltered back
With silence on my lips.

Had so much to say
With emotions that drove me
I found the voice to share
The rights that wronged me.

But cat caught my tongue
And I left saying none
Felt  its weight shatter my heart
But I sat mum.

Numb.
Feeling of it engulfed me in an
Embrace
Felt confused, abandoned and a waste of
Space.
Tried hard to rush, to make haste
But you had decided not to show your
Face.

Didn't understand your trials
Or your tribulations
Didn't understand my part
In their emanations
Your follies had a lesson to teach
Don't know why I was the one impeached.

You fell down without a single scratch
Without a tear or even a crack
So easily dusted off and walked away
Didn't look twice
At the maiden who lay broken and stray.

You say your truth comes with a baggage
That communication is foreign
And you don't understand this language.
I was willing to understand and untangle
Your mess
But you found a dagger at the slightest
Distress
And planted one directly in my chest.

Reasons and answers and apologies
Seem meek
When I look back on the time and effort
I lost in making you complete
Everything I did was for you and us
All I wanted was to grow and trust
To forget a life of sorrow and pain
To start a new chapter in glee and rain.

My voice found me alas
Spoke aloud in courage
And even grew my tongue out at last.
You can stay with me or stay away
You can grow with me or go away
Make up your mind or leave me be
Carefree and gay.
