4.Unspoken Agony

I sat ever so silently, 
Sliding down without a sound, 
Yet to unleash all my problems, 
When I was given just two options: 
To leave and sit or to continue till my mind would split. 
Oh, how could I tell her? 
Everything felt like a blur. 

She went on and on about how she had dealt. 
All I wanted to do was melt. 
My thoughts roaming around while she spoke with so much pain, 
I could not help but get choked. 
I tried to listen, my thoughts roaming around; 
How I had come to speak and seek, 
Instead, I was listening again like a freak. 

Just when I had thought I would get a say, 
He came as if it was his talk anyway. 

He spoke and then she spoke, 
Yet I was to speak. 
The irony— 
I did not speak, 
But was still blamed. 
My heart hurt, yet I remained to speak.
