Waiting
I sit here and wait
for you to talk,
to bring news and the
Voice of him.
The quiet is loud,
I could go crazy.
you sit there silent
and stubborn,
with no feeling
and no remorse.
your tiny voice is
encased in plastic.
and you can bring
the voice of many
But you just sit there
quiet waiting for me to crack.
you scheme with
him don't you?
Laughing to yourselves as
I sit here getting hurt and angry.
Is there something
I've done to you?
Why would you mistreat me?
Or are you trying to
Protect me from a wandering
Lover who's seeing someone else.
do you think it's better
Not to hear and
Let this continue?
Or is he hurt and
Unable to let you know.
Maybe he's with friends
and hasn't had the opportunity
to let you know.
I won't know though
will I?
Because you won't talk
you and I just sit here
encased in gooey thick silence,
Waiting......
