Trade the quiet for just one word, why afraid to allow the voice to be heard.
   Never to know what I truly did wrong, as music notes file depressing songs.
  Tears are shed for  hurt and shame, of no answers given just stillness  to pain.
  Apologize  oh how I tried, spending so many  nights wondering why.
    Was the word Love the straw that broke the trust, of being my friend  but now  disgust.
   Quietness has been the answer received, a wall of emptiness left feeling bereaved .
   To love another is not to fear, it’s universal in life and okay to share.
   Absence conversation only wanting to belong, the tiniest spot for me I fake the strong.
   Silence is punishment I plead not need,  forgive to forever I will concede.
