Silence

Your silence is killing me. It's like I don't exist. I've tried to call, but I resist. How many days, weeks, months, or years? you don't know my pain, sadness, my tears. the questions why? and please don't lie, don't tell everyone how much you tried. How much you loved me, change, and stay until you could no longer pretend. how you held on to the end. tell them how those arms that hugged me I know feared . tell them about the name calling the shame, how I cried tell them I slowly died.
