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, itβs 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.
