Send Me Back My Things

I'm curious: are you hurting just as much as me?
Or are you living freely without cares of what went on?
It seems like silence is a killer; could it be?
I wonder: are you hurting just as much as me?

I told myself: "I'll not care, nor will I reflect"
But the past few days have proven to be harder than perceived.
I don't know how much longer I can handle this neglect.
I need your love; I need your voice; I'm losing self respect.

Call me when you get this or just send me back my things.
There's too much evidence with them that could hurt my reputation.
I wonder if you know the hurt that such a fight can bring.
So call me when you get this or just send me back my things.
