what do you have to say for
yourself
you say nothing
what can you say
words will either
save your relationship
or doom it
but silence
is key
you say nothing
do you have
something to say
to me
you don’t
you feel nothing
more than nothing
you feel ill
you feel like a child
wanting to be left
alone
not interrogated
you say nothing
I hate you
she says
you look at her
you smile inside
you have been
given an out
do you take it
though
will she haunt you
or could you be
without her
that’s the choice
you have and you have
exactly six seconds to
make it.
