I wanted to talk to you,

But what would I say?

My anger melts into sadness,

And back into itself once more.

I couldn’t convince myself this time,

I couldn’t forgive you on this one.

Your silence that day,

So loud it still replays in my mind,

I was following you like a dog trained to sit for a treat.

I let them laugh because I thought this was worth more,

I thought my love could outweigh my humiliation.

But you never seemed to care either,

Whatever was done or said,

You somehow always found a way to not see or hear.

That was your magic trick.

And I convinced myself the rabbit really was in the hat.

I wanted to believe in magic so bad,

I forgot about gravity and how it was crushing me.

Why couldn’t you have just said something?

Even just a hand on my back.

Now the thought of you keeps burning the back of my throat.

And my self respect will push down any attempt to reach back out,

Even if it means I choke.

You were silent,

And that was all I ever needed to hear.

I cry at night now,

I don’t know which is my biggest fear,

Either you were laughing too,

Or me being laughed at was so insignificant to you, it didn’t even cross your mind.

I think that’s what keeps me up at night.

I wanted to talk to you,
