I often hear your voice, when you talk to other people
I love the sound of your voice
And I love your words and the way you speak
But during the occasional times that you say things to me, the pleasantness and soothing style of your voice disappears
And you sound tired of me and just done when you grunt a "hello" at me when I greet you.
I try to be cheerful and friendly with you
Because maybe, I think to myself desperately, you won't hate me anymore if I don't seem depressed
But my cheerful attitude doesn't seem to be helping anything in the slightest
Also, you might not know this but it's pretty frickin' difficult to act all happy when I'm dying inside
Fun fact haha now you know
For once I'd like to hear you speak to me without sounding like you want to murder me.
What I can never have, though, but that I wish for,
Is for you to talk to me like you did sometimes before
When we were close, and you'd murmur softly, saying such sweet things
And I could hear the love and affection in the deep tone of your voice
That's what I want to hear
I'm sorry that I hurt you
I know you might never forgive me
But please,
Please, is a little bit of friendliness too much too ask?
Could you say hello
But not in a why-the-heck-are-you-talking-to-me-go-die-in-a-hole-and-leave-me-alone kind of way?
