The silence

All that I can hear are my own echos

Leaving me with nought but familiar grief.

Even though these feelings should be let go

It still fuels a part of my own beliefs.

The silence always feels like a fresh cut,

But how many times have I felt this sting?

The searing pain of your cigarette butt

Such a feeling would be a novel thing.

Grant me some dignity in attention 

If you plan on using me like a toy

Though you told me that wasn't your intention 

It always feels like something you enjoy

Yet hearing your words formed a reliance

I beg you now for more than this silence
