I understand that you are shocked
I know you are confused
But say something
Please
Say something
When you say nothing
Just get out and shut the door
A million possibilities go through my mind
Will he tell everyone?
Will he ever see me the same?
Does he hate me?
I had expectations for your reaction
Yelling
Crying
Blaming me for something I have tried to change
But your reaction is silence
And trust me, I have tried to change it
Tried to starve it out
Cut it out
Deny every feeling
Until i felt nothing
Nothing
Just like your reaction
I cannot answer questions you do not ask
I cannot reassure your concerns if you do not voice them
I can do nothing if you give me nothing
My sense of self was put at your feet
But you walked away
True, you didn't stomp on it
But you did not pick it up
You left me on the ground
Now i'm here.
Waiting.
Just please
Say someting
