They listen intently
To the sound of nothing
I open my mouth to speak but
The fear runs as deep
As The cracks in my ceiling
I am their passion project that lacks the passion
I open my mouth
Try again
I choke
And I finally shout
The floodgates open
But no ones there
No ears to take in the sound of
Me
Finally breaking down
This is what you wanted
Isn't it?
To know what happened
What I felt
What I am feeling
But it's my fault
I didn't say anything
I pushed you away with the strength of my silence
