Silence

He doesn't communicate
about what he wants to do
or where he wants to go
or ways I could help him through

I call and talk to silence
I could do this on my own
the wall is fine for that
and I don't even need a phone

I try to make things better
but no feedback do I get
I wonder if it crosses his mind
I get really tired of this shit

okay, I've tried
I've called and he's denied
I've been soft and I have cried
I've been hard and open wide
I've been evil and I have lied

I have lived silence

and by silence,
I have died.
