#saysomething - Hello Poetry

I've said hello. I've had to say goodbye. I've said a lot of things in my time. And I'll say a lot more. Because you taught me that what I have to say matters. And now it's time to share what I've learned with you. What you have to say matters. What you WANT to say matters. You listened to me. So, I'm ready to listen to you. What do you want to say?

What do you want to say

don't let yourself be swept away By the promise of another day. And if you have something to say, say it. Because no one knows Exactly how long we get to stay

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

try to explain again that's when you say something my heart is hard to digest like the figurative phrase I'm trying to make What's behind the curtain? look at me embarrassed the wind laughed at me I want to hear it again the voice of your heart at that time the cars voice broke my hearing I just look at that frame My throbbing was fast then you smile

When they saw her sliced up arms and thighs Because they couldn't believe Someone with such a childish Angelic face could really do that to herself And no one thought to say anything When she silently screamed out for help So off she went with some rope And no hope left To the bathroom In the shower Where she hanged herself By kicking a stool out from under her feet After all she was short and tiny Which leads us to today An entire year later Where she could've been an entire year older An entire year happier If someone had said something Thankfully she found her God But that doesn't justify an 11 year old girl's Suicide

No One Thought To Say Anything

When they saw her sliced up arms and thighs Because they couldn't believe Someone with such a childish Angelic face could really do that to herself And no one thought to say anything When she silently screamed out for help So off she went with some rope And no hope left To the bathroom In the shower Where she hanged herself By kicking a stool out from under her feet After all she was short and tiny Which leads us to today An entire year later Where she could've been an entire year older An entire year happier If someone had said something Thankfully she found her God But that doesn't justify an 11 year old girl's Suicide

Just open your mouth please I'm tired of watching you die from the inside But you say your heart resides in mine but all the the signs say different and I can only bear witness to the pain you show every day Or the anger you show towards me makes me question even if you want me to stay

This silence is unnerving. It's filling the room Filling the spaces Where you normally are. I've left the door open To give you a choice, But all you do is stand there. You know I would do anything Just to end this fight. Would have done everything To make things right between us. But you don't want to talk When I'm ready to listen. & you don't want to listen When I'm trying to talk. You were the only thing that made sense to me But now You've made me senseless. So please, Say something Anything To show me that you're still there. Tell me that you're sorry That you don't want this to be the end. But if not, Please shut the door on your way out.
